well ive gotten to another speed bump in the progress of my car. since my brakes stuck last week i decided to check if i needed to add grease to my wheel bearings. well one of my inner bearings stayed on the spindle when i pulled off the rotor. it doesnt look like it overheated. it still looks brand new. but now i cant get it off. is there away or do i need to cut it off and go buy a new one. i am so frustrated with this thing right now.
 
Slantscamp, don't let it get you, its just another bump in the road. If your bearing stayed on the spindle then the seal must still be on the spindle inside it also. You said your brakes were stuck in your post, so you most likely heated the whole area. That bearing and seal should pull off, maybe soak it with a penetrating liquid, then wrap a rag around it and pull it off. If you heated them alot when brakes were stuck I myself would just go ahead and replace them anyway for the piece of mind in the future. Heres a cut of what it looks like. Mike
