I am changing both rear wheel bearings on a 2000 2.5RS. I got the RR out fine, changed the bearing...cake.

I've got the LR unbolted from the suspension with a couple bolts in to hold the upright in place. I take off the drivshaft nut, remove the bolts, and the driveshaft is stuck like glue into the wheel bearing.

I tried a hammer... nothing, I tried and air hammer... nothing... WD40..... nothing. I've never seen a driveshaft stuck like this.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the drive shaft out/ why it may be stuck?

HELP!!!:furious:

How did you get the bearing out and the new one back in? I would pull the axle with the spindle and toss the whole thing in a press.

changed the bearing with a press on the RR.

It's the LR I WAS having trouble with, buth last night I used a gear puller set and threw and air gun on it. Popped out after some convincing.
