[Vwdiesel] More Wheel Bearing fun!

[Matt]

Hi guys,

I was replacing the drum brakes on the drivers side this time, and when 
I pulled off the drum, the inner bearing was really stuck to the stub 
axle.  I had a devil of a time removing it.  Once I got it off, I 
replaced the brakes, packed the inner bearing, seated it in the drum, 
put the seal on, and started to mount the drum on the axle.  As I 
placed the drum on, it made a strange grindy noise, so I pulled it off 
again.  The new bearing and seal were stuck on the axle again.  It took 
lots of force to remove them, just like the old ones.

Here's a picture of the old one stuck to the axle:

Do I need a new stub axle on this side?  or should I just put it 
together and drive it?

Thanks!
