avenger inner bearings seized to axle

[28560HUNTING]

Well help had a guy bring me his avenger for repair andd myself having a weak moment agreed to help him out. It has 3 bad bearings with all the inner bearings seized to the axle. I got 1 out so far with heat and the die grinder with a cutoff wheel. In all my conquests and magnums I never had anything like this before lots of swearing wow.Any body have a simple fix to help me out

Any axles but the fronts I unbolt inner bearing and break outer race with a hammer after covering with a rag. Then cut inner race with cutoff wheel. The fronts are very difficult to break as you don't get a good wack at them. If the HD axles are available idd cut the old ones and upgrade. It's a good thing to do. I hate to cut a good axle but there are days on a project that it dosent but a dime an hour to save it.

A 7/8 drift works well some times. Sometimes not so I like to unbolt the inner and outer flanges and set screws on sprockets and retaining bolt, pry the inner 1/2 of the inner flange over the bearing(this will need to be replaced) and slide everything outward, then loosen the setscrews on the outer bearing and tap the axle back in an inch so I can attach a 2or 3 jaw puller on entire bearing. Cover the retaining bolt hole before using the puller to save the threads, I generally use a 5/16 bolt and toss is afterwards.

I also hate to cut good axles, but there is a time limit.

Crisis solved yes lossen flanges and pry over bearing flange.Loosen outter bearing screws and drive axle in .Slide pitman arm puller over bearing hit with impact and wow off the bearing slides .

I found that the outer bearing will usually slide on the axle.If I tap on it a bit the axle will slide inward. If I can get an inch for the puller jaws to attach I can use a puller to pull the bearing off.
