Got a mild surprise when I pulled the left axle housing off the frame -- inner wheel bearing on my H was shot. 1/2 the ball retainer cage was sitting in shreds at the bottom of the housing, and 1 ball was split in two (about 3 others has been ground-up). Got a replacement wheel bearing ($59.00) but had a DEVIL of a time getting the old one out. Those bearing races are SO HARD that practically nothing would cut through. Finally managed to get the balls out by cutting away the outer race cavity with a tiny cut-off wheel on my Dremel tool, then coaxed the inner race off the axle. I made a tool out of a 9/16" cap head bolt (half the cap cut off) and a sheet of stock. Banged on it for 1/2 an hour and got it out. New bearing went right in. Not that I plan on doing that again, but what would a better approch have been to removing that inner wheel bearing? My local IH dealer told me just to whack on it until it broke. I feared breaking the cast iron housing, so didn't hit it. Still can't believe how strong that metal was.
