rich so the bearing sits on the race or beside it

@hp11208 The bearing rides on the race.

Im no master Tech but wouldnt a 3 Jaw Puller have been better to avoid damaging the hub, I dont think little knicks on a hub are desirable at all??

@soulmanplaya3 Most hubs do not have a place for the puller to get behind the race.

What brand of air chisel is that?

[richpin06a]

it is a CP not the best but gets the job done most of the time.

I can understand using the chissel to get it going but once you've made space to use a puller why did you continue and damage the shaft? As someone else has said, even if you do file back the damage, you're bearings will wear prematurely. At least if you limited the damage to below the inner race it would have no affect on the wear of the bearing. This kind of mentality is why taking your car to a garage is a concern.

Well first ya get a job, and a house and a shop. Then ya get yerself an air compressor and air tools.

Real simple.

Yeah.
