I am in the process of repacking the wheels bearings on my 1957 K6-W300 Power Wagon. The outer wheel bearings came out easily but I am not sure what is the best way to remove the inner grease seal and wheel bearing. I have removed the c-clip retainer but light pressure on the grease seal doesn't seem to move anything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Is there a special tool? How much force is required? I would like to reuse the grease seals and the wheel bearings as they seem to be in good shape and the vehicle has only 4500 original miles, light service and always garaged.
