Wheel Bearing Siezed

[L90OOK]

My 110 decided that it had enough of its O/S/R wheel bearing today so it totally seized & locked the whole transmission up  :shock:  #-o ...no warning signs either  
After getting it home I have managed to get the wheel bearing nuts off...after drilling & chiseling the inner nut off  :shock:
To top it off the inner bearing race has welded itself to the stub axle so I can't get the hub off...tomorrow the Oxy Acetylene comes out  :twisted:
Below is a picture of the bearing when I took the drive flange off...
I'll put some more photo's tomorrow of the progress  [-o<

drive on it abit more and break the bearing up, thats what i do when its in that state
saves hours of faffing around with the bottles  :roll:
then when the cage has broken up slide the hub off,grind a slit in the race and whack it, off it pops, polish stub up in lathe or by hand with hemry cloth
and bobs ya uncle  :lol:

[extreme90]

Hello mate

All done...new stub axle though      :-({|=  
The bearing nut was welded to the stub axle...never mind, a big hammer & cold chisel sorted that  :) ...& the oxy acetylene sorted the rest :lol: :shock:

Did the other side too...just to be safe.
Whipped the diff pan off to check ARB ok & replaced the breather pipes.
All in all a good days work & total bill of about £140...not bad for a seized bearing :?  :roll:

Below are the pictures of the hub & what remains of the bearing!...I must stop reversing it into the sea to launch the boat  :roll:

Hell !! my snorkel has come in handy a couple of times when launching the boat  :shock:

salt water shouldnt get to the bearings any way, never had probs with my 90  :?

PMSL...what are you launching the QE2 :lol:  :twisted:

I'm pretty sure no salt water got in...the grease wasn't emulisified nor was the EP90 in the diff.  The drive flanges were sealed well with sealant ...just one of those things I guess  :roll:
