Hi,
Well the boys rear axle roller bearing exploded and the rear wheel froze. The car is a 70 bug type 1. I have disassembled the brake assembly and removed the axle and the front roller bearings that were destoyed.I cleaned up the scoring on the axle, but it seems impossible to remove the rear axle seal from its seat, and therefore remove the rear bearing. I can see the keeper ring that keeps the rear bearing in place behind the seal. I have tried everything I can think of, and the rear seal will not come out. Much of it is out in pieces but a metal ring (like a large thin washer, I think it was inside the seal) will not budge. How do you get this crazy thing out so I can remove the rear ball bearing?
Thanks for your help
