Get the temp right, and they peeled right off. _________________ 1994 Geo Metro - SOHC 1.3 swap My Website

Yes, our cars have 2 bearings per wheel. For the sake of completeness, perhaps we should mention rotor replacement. While you have the hub out of the car, Get a new rotor: And you can easily attach it: Then you can use a 1 1/4 inch socket to tap it back together: Leaving you with this final assembly. Make sure it spins quietly....
