I've got a failed wheel bearing that the race has seized to the spindle, anybody have any tricks?
Already tried a bearing/pulley puller, and have used BFH/blowtorch.

After those two approaches, I usually pull out the die grinder and start cuttling. No fun at all.

I ended up using an angle grinder... successfully!
bearings/races replaced, back in action.

Yup -- driving back from a jaunt to amarillo when road noise got loud, couldn't figure out what it was.
just outside of lubbock -- car started to pull to the side. decide that the car knew best, pulled over and got a tow home.
Yanked the tire and disc... metal confetti.
all working now.

Sorry Rusty, but I've only ever used the BFH/chisel/blowtorch method. It was a bitch, I can tell you that. This occurred on the right real wheel bearing on a 1968 IH pickup. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
