Alright i've pressed out plenty of wheel bearings before.
I have a 20 ton press, I pressed out the hub fine, like it wasnt even in there. Removed the snap rings and tried to press out the old bearing. It wont budge; both sides. I put some heat on it while it was pressed, nothing. Is there something else i'm missing? -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

I got them out. Put them in press with full pressure, then heated it for 10-15 min with a mapp torch. Gave it another press heated it more gave it another press etc. Finally got them out.
Can't believe how tough they are... i've never had any trouble pressing them out with a 20 ton, i've had struggles when i've used 12 tons in the past. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
