Im in the middle of swapping my S14 to 5 lug. I got one of the front hubs done nor problem, everything bolted on great. But when I did the driver side I used a hub puller to get the hub off, but part of the bearing broke off and is stuff on the spindle. I might just try cutting it off, but Im nervous about damaging the spindle by doing that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?!

If the bearing came apart, it was bad. There isn't any need to use a puller to remove them. Since you now know the bearing was bad, it's likely the spindle was damaged as well from the bearing race grinding against it, being that it's stuck it's fused on from heat.

Its the inner race that came off of the hub, and I cant get it to budge. its on the spindle good.

The same happened to me when changing my hubs, get a torch or something to heat it up and take your time to slowly twist it off the spindle.
