Spun a hub


axle seal
I recently spun a rear hub on my '84 CJ-7. Any ideas on how to get this out?

4/14/2005 pbm - Well, I got the seal out with a 13 pound slide hammer (can you say OVERKILL). I even got the axles put back in. Well, most of the parts are in. After I tightened everything down and reinstalled the brakes, I found a bearing spacer for one side that still needs to go in. Looks like I will be tearing everything down again, putting that spacer in, then putting everything back together again. It is really starting to get nice out. Makes me want to take the top off. You don't get much wind through your hair though sitting on jack-stands in the garage. I call that MOTIVATION.
