These drive shaft / front hubs are a trick. Drive shaft and front hub removed as one as the splined end of the drive shaft had seized into the hub. Used a seriously H/duty press to get that out and didnt destroy anything! Same again to get the drive flange off the swivel assembly. Then remove the cir clip and drive out the wheel bearing.
Noticed that the inner portion of the bearing had separated and remained on the swivel assembly and as I drove out the bearing it came apart - separated: seal - ball race - housing The bearing cant have been long for this work as it was. Makes me wonder what the other side is like! Will have to investigate when $$ allows.
The inner bit of the bearing with part of the ball race bearing surface attached to the drive flange.
