My tractor hauling trailer had a bearing failure, the grease caught fire. The fire was extinguished before the tires had a chance to burn. I removed the hub and drum, and what was left of the bearings, and replaced the races. My problem is the metal part of the grease seal apparently welded itself to the hub. I have tried to go in with a small chisel to see if I can get under the metal sides of the seal to try and remove it. So far this has not worked. I have ruined a new seal trying to install it this was before I figured out the old seal was still their, but, obviously it won't fit. I ended up buying a new hub and drum, but I sure would like to be a able to use my old one, those babies are expensive. I was thinking of heating up the hub and then applying dry ice to see if I could get the old seal to release. So I am looking for ideas. I really don't want to spend hours with a Dremel tool trying to grind it out. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
