you can see the grease seal on the inner bearing on the spindle.
the grease seal is moved behind the inner bearing when i slide the rotor and hub on. i feel like i need the grease seal to be inside the hub.

i can move the grease seal around. I dont know where it is supposed to be.

Remove the bearing and old seal, Clean the bearing and repack.Clean the spindle,Replace the seal with a new one(the"re cheap) put some grease into the hub, insert bearing, put seal in you can tap it in with a block of wood,or use a large socket or seal driver if you have one.

The seal should have been on the back of the hub and rotor when it came off.

I think you need a new spindle and bearings. You need to take the nuts off the spindle and get a big hammer and block of wood. I just done mine I have some pics on my page if you want to see it. if you get a new spindle you dont have to pull the bearing off.

here is the race of the bear which i need to separate from the spindle




here is the spindle part the its stuck to




here is the point in between which i am trying to get something in between to separate it.




i dont know if this is 100% correct but this is my guess

does anyone know what could be causing this to stick?
or a solution to get it off?
*remember i dont really have grip because i need to get the race off, not just the bearing which coud break!!!*

He's right, also I would replace the entire spindle, unless all that **** is grease and nastiness... If so just clean it up and repack your bearings... Hell I'd recommend just putting a new race/bearing in while you're at it. They're only like $15
