Default Seized wheel bearing

Hello it's been awhile since my last post. And I got a good one.bi have an 89 S10 blazer 2wd.

Here is what I'm currently looking at
I tried searching thru the threads but couldn't find anything. I replaced my front wheel bearings a couple weeks ago only for the passenger side to fail with the outer wheel bearing. I've got all torn apart and had to end up makeing some cuts with my angle grinder to try and get at the bearing because it is seized to the spindle... I have aggressively beat at it with a chisel and Hammer and my air chisel and heat it up and tried beating on it some more and I can't get the bearing housing to come undone... It's really irratating me. My truck has been down for a little over a week now and has been affecting work and everything else. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Well, you're going to need a new spindle or somehow fabricate or find a replacement shank, tried heat plus penetrating fluid? and outside of that a heavy duty puller of some sort, you can rent them from tool stores for pretty cheap, alternatively, break out the liquid wrench or replace the spindle and ditch the entire seized assembly, since the threads in your pic appear to be trashed

Agreed. At this point, you might as well cut your losses, pull off the whole assembly, and head to the junkyard.
