Hello. Posted in the diesel down section. Looking for some advice. My wheel bearings are shot. The race is spinning in the hub. The bearing race retainer is frozen to the spindle. Tried it all. Breaker bar lots of hammering etc. Anyone have this experience? I just want to limp mode home almost 500 miles. Any quick, but safe enough fixes?. I have the bearings and races here. But can't get the retainer off. Anyone know of a good tow service here in bfe nevada?

dodge , unit bearing? you may not make 500m. on a spun hub.
you could call ndot(and hope they help) I may try limping (slowly) and get it to a shop?!
I would start at under $3 a mile, they may start at +$10 seems this is a horsetraders profession with some of these guy's, ask me how I know.

Doubt you'll make it too far. Even going 5 mph.
Only fix is replacement. Get a tow to a parts store and go to town on it.
