As you may recall, I broke my axle shaft. I decided to install one of Phil
Marino's tapered shafts. In order to do that one has to remove the bearing
housing. Well, I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to remove the
lock nuts that hold the bearing housing onto the axle housing. Finally I
called John Seim and he told me about the little tabs on the washer that were
bent into the grooves of the lock nut. So now I have the lock nut off and
the bearing housing should slide right off right? WRONG ! I have pried
and pulled and hammered and tried everything but a wheel puller with no luck.
Should the bearing housing slide off now, or am I missing something?
