It is the same part. I can’t even manage to get the old seal to work. The old seal is definitely a lot more snug but the rotor still slides off, leaving the inner bearing and seal. It is almost as if I am missing a part but I am sure I am not. The rotor won’t sit still on the spindle a second.
Catch is when I put the outer bearing on it stays. I know I can finish the job like this but I feel like I am missing something. When I put the spindle nut on there is a 1/8″ gap between the nut and the hole for the cotter pin. I guess I have no choice but to take it how I can get it and maybe time will seat everything properly. My concern is time will do the opposite.
What do you guys think?

Hey guys, been a little tied up with the holidays and the flu but I’ve had success! Drilled the bolts all the way out on one side and almost all the way out on the other when I could just punch the bracket off. Thanks for all the suggestions and tips.
I am replacing the rotors now which are like the type in Eric’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccsbu2hT0MI
His wheel seal is a little bit different then mine, but I might have the wrong seal because the seal gets tight on the spindle but falls off rotor so the rotor just slides down the spindle, leaving the bearing and seal on the spindle.
I don’t know if I should start a new topic but I figured I either have the wrong part or I am missing something because that seal does not seat onto the rotor well at all.
Any suggestions?

I can’t seem to get the pictures to upload but basically after around 1/4″ the drills start to get stuck and stop drilling, my pilot hole is half of the bolt and the other half is only half drilled out if that makes sense. I am making progress going up and down in size slowly but surely.

I’m using a Milwaukee 18V cordless drill with titanium Dewalt bits. I drilled the bottom out all the way to 1/2 inch. Top one is the one twice as deep and is giving me some trouble. I am thinking about cutting the bracket in half to drill from both sides. Obviously I would lose out on the core but it might save me some headache. You can see that ring on the bottom one, that’s the bracket if I am correct.

Yeah, I guess its half common sense half research. I live near Home Depot so I have been buying a lot of Husky because the price isn’t bad and the lifetime guarantee, despite people telling me they break every Husky tool they touch. I got a 25 piece 3/8 socket set and the 14mm had a chip at the bottom of the socket that didn’t allow you to put it on the ratchet. Exchanged it for a new set and haven’t had any problems.

When I cut the bottom bolt head off I was able to pop the lock nut off so an 1/8 of the bolt sticks out. The 1/4 punch did not budge anything, at all. If anything it spread that bolt out.
I soaked it in some more PB blaster and I’m going to try again today. I am getting quite sick of this bracket, for the corrosion and rust to be this bad it makes me wonder if these are the original parts.
I think I’m going to just drill out the bolt where it’s not threaded, it has got to pop off then. No need to re-thread anything and I can finally finish this job.
Any thoughts?

OK, I have a 1/32″ Nail set I think would work, I’ll break the heads off with a cats paw or something.
I noticed the propane didn’t do much to the area but I’ll give it some heat before I start banging on it.OK, I have a 1/32″ Nail set I think would work, I’ll break the heads off with a cats paw or something.
