Re: Pulling axles from a Dana 44
Thanks to all for the advice. I fastened the ends of a chain to the
flange and yanked real hard with a bar. Saved the beer for myself.
Any tips on non-destructively removing the bearings from the axles?

Re: Pulling axles from a Dana 44
Hi Steve,
I just let the machine shop that I'm buying the bearing from cut it
of with their Oxy-Acetylene, seeing they have the hundred ton press too.
The torch bothers some, they drill a hole in the ring and split it with
a chisel: http://www.----------.com/R44axle.pdf

Steve, don't even bother trying to get them off in one piece. Buy new
Timken bearings and have them pressed on, they're not that expensive that
you should try to save the old bearings... which is pretty much impossible
anyway.
