Rear axle bearing removal

[1955CJ-5]

OK, this was going to be a quick brake replacement....

sure....

So the rear axle bearing is bad.

I have the axle out, I have a puller, but the bearing will not budge....do I need to find someone with a press?

Ideas?

Either a hot wrench or a good machine shop. Shouldn't be expensive.

I think it will be a machine shop. The fellow who is doing the engine knows another machinist who will do this sort of thing....at least it will be done right...

Boil it in water for a while.

My wife will be gone tomorrow..I'll give that a try!   It'll probably stink up the house....better light a scented candle!!
