My driver's side front wheel bearing has gone bad, and I'm replacing both front hubs. The passenger side came off fine, but the driver's side hub came off while still leaving the inner race of the bearing and back seal on the spindle. I've been trying everything I can think of, I have been soaking it with PB Blaster, hammering on it, trying to pry it with 2 jaw pullers. A friend suggested taking a torch to it, but I'm not exactly sure where I need to be putting heat so that I can avoid damaging the spindle....Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

heat up the bearing race and pry it off. Go easy on the heat though.
