    Hi

    I also use Mig on front wheel bearings.

    Knock out the races, clean up and run a heavy weld around where the balls/rollers used to run. The heat does help release it but its the weld contracting when it cools that shrinks the bearing casing. It then taps out very easily, no need to use 10 ton press or big hammers.

    If your quick, while the hub is still hot the new bearing will drift in easily.

    Sorry if you already knew this, it just seemed like a good time to mention it

    Dave
