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. |

As you know from my other post, I'm in the middle of this also. My son showed me the slide hammer trick using a sledge hammer and length of chain. It worked but really shook the hell out of the trailing arm & whole car. Ham's method shown above is far preferable....
