how can i remove an axle bearing race that a puller cant remove?
Ive got a Jeep that has leaking axle bearing seals.Well Ive got one side done(bearing,seal,and brakes)and now I have a big problem.My bearing puller cant remove the bearing race so what do i do now?
Answer:
try heating it than use the puller or cut it with a chisel if it on the axle hit it with a big hammer a few times should break it loose good luck try heating till cherry red than hit with some iced water cause it to crack with a little luck.

Mechanical seal with embedded lubrication
Mechanical seal for providing a seal around the drive shaft of a variable displacement swash plate type compressor used in an air conditioning system for a vehicle comprising a rotating bearing surface, an associated stationary bearing surface and a lubricant embedded in the stationary bearing surface.
During operation of the compressor, the rotating bearing surface is caused to move against the stationary bearing surface causing lubricant to be released between the bearing surfaces, thereby providing efficient lubrication of the bearing surfaces.
The present invention relates to a mechanical seal, and more particularly to a mechanical seal disposed between two relatively moving bearing surfaces such as, for example, between a rotating bearing surface and an associated stationary bearing surface for providing a seal around the drive shaft of a variable displacement swash plate type compressor used in an air conditioning system for a vehicle.
A mechanical face seal is frequently used in an automotive cooling pump or refrigeration compressor. Generally, such seals include a stationary annular bearing surface integral with the compressor housing and an associated sealing ring disposed on a rotating drive shaft. A means are provided for urging the facing surfaces of the stationary bearing surface and the sealing ring together. The rotating surface of the sealing ring contacts the stationary bearing surface to form a sealing face which is perpendicular to the shaft. The stationary sealing surface is typically formed of cast iron, stainless steel, ceramic, hard chromium-plated steel or hardened bearing steel; and the associated rotating ring is formed of sintered carbon-graphite, resin-bonded carbon-graphite, resin impregnated carbon-graphite or ceramic.
Refrigeration compressors are used to compress refrigerants, such as carbon dioxide, as part of a standard vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. Typically, a gaseous refrigerant is mixed with a liquid lubricating medium, such as oil, before entering the compressor. The oil is employed to lubricate the compressor components, such as bearings and seals, to reduce component wear. Refrigeration compressors typically include a shaft rotatably supported by bearings within a compressor housing. Mechanical seals are typically employed in such refrigeration compressors to inhibit leakage of lubricating oil between the compressor housing and the shaft.
When a mechanical seal is mounted in a conventional variable displacement swash plate type compressor of an air-conditioner for a vehicle in which carbon dioxide refrigerant is used, the operational conditions of the mechanical seal become severe. The pressure within such a compressor is greater than within a compressor using a different refrigerant, resulting in a greater axial sealing force on the mechanical seal. Additionally, conventional lubricating oil is not soluble in carbon dioxide and therefore the lubricating oil cannot be efficiently distributed within the compressor. Such inefficient distribution of lubricating oil can cause the sealing face of the mechanical seal to receive an insufficient amount of lubricating oil. Insufficient lubrication will cause excessive friction in the sealing face, resulting in over-heating and failure of the mechanical seal.
The mechanical seals of the prior art rely primarily on the flow of oil mixed with refrigerant gas to effect proper lubrication. Therefore, ineffective lubrication of the sealing face occurs due the lack of consistent flow of refrigerant gas within the compressor.
It would be desirable to produce a mechanical seal wherein a constant supply of lubrication is released into the sealing face to result in improved lubrication of the mechanical seal.
Consistent and consonant with the present invention, a mechanical seal wherein a constant supply of lubrication is released into the sealing face to result in improved lubrication of the mechanical seal has surprisingly been discovered.
