Re: wheel bearing question

["Brad Sayer" <vwrocco85@hotmail.com>]

I tried that first.  This thing is stuck on, big time!  Couldn't pry, and I 
found some cheap puller thing, and bent the damn thing trying to get the 
race off.  Seems pretty stuck on.  Now I am trying to find myself a new hub 
in a hurry.  Noone carrys them.  Anyone know a place I can get a hub ASAP in 
the NY, North NJ area?

Brad
