Trying to change wheel bearing and a steering knuckle but ran into this problem.
I am trying to replace a wheel hub and a wheel bearing. I watched numerous videos and seen exactly how it's done, and it seems everyone has no issues taking off the wheel hub but mine just doesn't come off, instead the whole assembly came off if you see where the grease out, what am I doing wrong.
EDIT: I was able to finally use a hammer to take a spindle with wheel bearing off but now I am confused for the part that came off, I understand it's part of an axle but how would I put that thing back on, because now it's my main issue. came off from that part where you can see the grease So this came off when I was trying to pull off the wheel hub this wheel hub I am trying to remove but it just doesn't come off easily
Yup unless you see the axle shaft break loose on the hub assembly you will pull the axle apart. I can be put back together, but you will need a new boot clamp (steel band) and new axle grease to put in before putting back together. Also you will have to take hub to a machine shop to press the bearing out. Unless you have proper tools.

I was able to rent out special tools just to take the bearing out, which will also allow me to install it. But I have not seen any videos for rx where they put the axle back where I removed from.
