Inner ring can stuck on shaft but bearing splitter it's not expensive tool

Mine did this - just removed the brake back plate and used a smaller puller to get the inner ring off.

My local ATS even let me use their torque wrench as I've misplaced my decent one during a house move, and could only get it to 170lb/ft accurately.

Thanks guys, so far so good. Needed me and the missus standing on a breaker bar to loosen the axel shaft nut, which was quite romantic. And the brake caliper nuts were a bugger to get undone until the WD-40 soaked in.

Having an + sized wife really helps in situations like this- armed with a breaker bar there are few bolts that will not yield under such pressure..
