Hey,Charlie!! Happy New Year!! I think Drew was trying to type rubber,but I don't know if he's talking about the rubber in a carrier-bearing,or what. I know I'd be MAD if I had that kind of lousy job done on my truck,especially if the guy "claims"he has insurance,and that much experience!! One trick that I saw on "youtube",may work better for you,Drew,than having to go buy a propane torch,as long as you have an electric drill. Find a drill bit a little smaller diameter,than the rubber. Drill all the way around the circumference,spacing the holes as close as possible,making sure not to damage,(drill into), the surrounding metal). Using a hammer and screw-driver,pry the remaining rubber out of the bearing. By rights,since this "pro" messed-up in the first place,I'd have him fix his mistake,as well as remove the rubber! He should have known better. Since he "CLAIMS" to have insurance,he should repair and replace EVERYTHING that was damaged due to his negligence! If he refuses,or does another shoddy repair,THEN contact a lawyer proficient in small-claims,and then he'll wish he did the job correctly in the first place!! GOOD-LUCK!!
