[QUOTE="markjenn, post: 446350, member: 42"] I agree with this. You'll strip the threads on the axle or axle nut before you do anything terrible to your wheel bearings. Axle torque is a red herring. The bearing were likely damaged during removal. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. With the right pullers and if you were extremely careful, you might be able to remove wheel bearings intact and reuse them, but nobody does this - when they're driven out, they're replaced. - Mark [/QUOTE]
