Trying to remove the rear hub. The CV/Axle is already removed. That was cake in comparison.
Have some pipe that is roughly the same OD and hammering the hell out of it got the hub to push out a couple of mm but now it won't budge. Hate the idea of spending $80 on a slide hammer. Any other tricks to get this bugger out? This is the driver's side. SO not looking forward to going through this process again on the other side of the car. |

I use a 2 lb sledge hammer and pipe. I've never had one stuck that wouldn't pound out.
See if you can remove the 4 bearing retainer plate fasteners and then pound it out. The bearing will probably separate and the inner race will still be on the hub. You can then hammer the outer race out with a drift. Clamp the hub in a vise and with a cold steel chisel and heat, you can get the inner race off the hub. |
