I am in the middle of trying to replace the front brakes on my '97 GMC
Safari.  I got the passenger side apart very easily and replaced all
the parts.  As for the driver's side I've taken everything apart up to
the outside wheel bearing which is stuck to the spindle.  I have tried
a number of different things to get it off including; beating the back
of the hub/rotor with a sledge for an extended amount of time, using a
bearing puller I rented from a local auto store which didn't work
because there is no way to get the puller arms onto the bearing
itself, heating the bearing with a torch and hitting it with a cold
chisel.  No luck so far.  If anyone might have a useful suggestion for
getting this stubborn bearing off it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Joel
