i was hoping my first real post here would be a happier one, but i need some here. i was on my way home from work when i hear a squealing, everything seems fine it's not the brakes, then it starts grinding. i get home pull the wheel and brakes, everything is fine execept the hub wouldn't rotate. i pulled the bearing but due to how it failed t he outer shell of the bearing is stuck inside the hole.

any ideas short of replacing the whole piece? i already have the new hub/bearing assembly, and a day off tomorrow (well technically today) and need to get this SHO back on the road

oh it's a 95 mtx if that makes any difference

thanks in advance

To get that piece out you could take it to a machine shop or some other place where they have cutting torches and someone who knows how to use them well. They can have that race out of there in 30 seconds without damage to the knuckle.
