[Vwdiesel] [Audi-VW-Diesels] Wheel Bearing--Inner Race stuck to hub (fwd)

Grinder will take a while. Been there. If you use a grinder, use a
ceramic wheel. Still slow.
I discourage using a chisel. Not a good idea. Bearing race is too hardened,
and there's lots of shrapnel. Not to mention you will dull your chisel
several times.
The method of choice is oxyacetylene cutting. Possibly plazma cutting,
but I have not tried that. Oxy is quick, safe and I've NEVER nicked the hub
doing so. I've probably done about 20 front beaarings.
Good luck.
