Default Another trailing arm question

Hey everyone, is there a trick to separating the bearing/spindle carrier from the trailing arm?

I have everything disassembled to that point but they seem to be fused but good. Anyone have ideas?

I watched a YouTube vid for a look at how he did it... May help...



Already posted these same vids in another trailing arm post today... Not sure if you saw it...

Yeah, I watched those videos when I started dis-assembly. He kinda glazed over it and I was hoping for something a little more rounded than "Beat the living @#$% out of 'em"

Here's how I got mine apart but I already had the spindle out. Separating the bearing carrier from the trailing arm is the last thing I did.
