Actually the axle is free but the bearing is stuck to the housing. I didn't know if there was some kind of puller the could straddle the axle, if you will, and reach inside to the back of the bearing due to limited access from the rear

Rent a slide hammer and bearing puller. O'Reilys' lends them for free. I just used one of theirs myself.

I rented a bearing puller yesterday at autozone. It as one that hooks onto the lugs. Is there another kind that could get past the axel? I just tried to get a gear puller in there with legs reversed and couldn't slide by the axel

Maybe you will have to pull the axle out to get the clearance you need.

My 2008 Ford Escape AWD floor matts keep getting soaked. I thought I had fixed it by making sure the sunroof was closed properly, but it has continued. I have tried to figure out where this is coming from and finally after drying them out again I laid under the the vehicle and both on the drivers side in the middle of the front floor area and the passanger side there is a small hole about the size of a dine right in the middle. That would account for the water coming in after rain storms and such, but why would these two holes be there? Was there a drain area there with plugs and they are missing? Can I have a piece of metal welded over them? Don't know why they would be there. Doesn't seem to be a rust issue as it is frim all around these small holes. 7 Answers
