These things are totally stuck in the hub. I've checked and rechecked that I have all of the bolts, and I do, but I can't get these out of the hubs/trailing arm assembly. I've soaked hem in PB blaster, but I can't figure out a way to leverage them out. Am I missing something? Any ideas?

I figured that everything in there will be replaced before it drives again, but didn't want the stub axle or bearings out because I need the thing rollable...
I had a buddy stand on the trailing arm assembly with the axle hanging off a curb and did the trick of hitting the axle sidewards (equivalent to down if mounted on car) with a rubber mallet, turned axel 90 degrees, <whack>, turn, <whack>, etc until it came off. It looks to me like in the decade the car sat in Texas and what not, the grease and seal melted and solidified into a super-mega glue. Like stated above, the problem now lies in the location pin stuck in there. But I'll worry about that when the stub axle gets removed when I get to my permanent garage. |
