I'm changing my left front CV axle and wheel bearing and I have to say it is the most aggravating job I've attempted on this beast.

That's saying something because I've replaced all the timing chains and guides and rebuilt the VANOS units. I also just rebuilt the transfer case.

The bearing just won't come out! I bought the harbor freight bearing press and it fits perfectly but didn't have the strength to remove it. The race came out stuck to the hub when I managed to get it out with a slide hammer. I had to cut it and break it with a chisel to get it off but the outer portion of the bearing is seized inside the hub.

I'm trying an air hammer next to see if I can make it move.
