I bought the Filling Station kit to convert my front bearings from ball bearings to roller bearings. All went well until I tried to remove the inner bearing race on the spindle. Is that just a slip on over the spindle or a press fit? I did not try anything aggressive on it to get it off like heat or a big slip joint pliers. I wanted to check with the experts first before I do something I shouldn't. My father restored the car so I am learning 32 technology as the situation dictates.

Thanks

The inner race is a slip fit on the spindle. Old dry grease is probably holding it in place.

Thanks, I figured it must be a slip fit, maybe a bit of heat will loosen it up
