I don't want to sound stupid or uneducated, but perhaps I am. The nut I assume is too large to pass through the inside of the inner bearing. Pulling on the hub (I think you meant hub instead of rotor) will cause the nut to strike the inner bearing which will then strike the seal and cause it to come out the back of the hub and stay on the spindle, correct? You say that won't mess up the bearing? Mr. Hunter says just jank it out. Using what? A pair of vicegrips? I think I'll get a piece of pipe with a flange to catch on the seal and then jank it up. If that doesn't work, I'll try using the nut, although I am somewhat concerned it would do something to the bearing. Sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the advice.
