Well I found out tonight and as you may pick up from the pictures, my outer race on my previous wheel bearing welded itself to the inside of my axle tube. So frustrated!! When an axle goes back it really goes. Currently trying to grind it down to fit the new race. Seemed like my only option.

As I ground down into the race I was able to grind away all the places where it spot welded itself to the axle tube and it eventually popped out. I think I got very lucky. Got everything put pack together today and took it out for a spin, success! Thanks all for your help the last few days, next project I’m sure will come soon. Til then gents!
