    Quick question

    I pressed one of the front bearings off the hub and the center ring of the outer part of the bearing stuck on the hub.

    This is not a pic of my actual bearing/hub, but it's an example of what I'm working with.


    What is the most efficient way of getting this piece (arrow) off the hub? Cut and cold chisle? Or is there some sort of puller I need to get (would hopefully be something from Harbor Freight, don't want to buy a $200 tool I will hopefully will never need again, if I don't have to)

    How's the supercharger run? I got my truck pretty much exactly like yours a few years ago...low miles, super clean and bone stock except for the TRD supercharger. Mine had terrible pinging though if I floored it, ran too lean. Do you have any supporting fuel mods or is yours one of the lucky ones that doesn't have pinging issues? I had to install the URD 7th injector on mine which resolved maybe 75% of the issue, it'll still ping under the right conditions.

    I always use a dremel on something like this, cut about 90 percent of the way through, and then cold chisel it, giving increasing levels of taps till it breaks. Don't want to mar the part underneath

    Stupid question- are you using high test gasoline? You need high octane for forced induction

    Hmm.. never have had any serious engine pinging with mine. Have had weird clicking from the blower that came and went. Still not sure what that was about but it doesn’t happen anymore and i have read about others having the same issue.

    My wallet has been hurting bad since joining. It has helped me though learn more about routine maintenance for these things. Likely saved my ass a few times.
