Two words:

Air Chisel.

Takes 10 seconds to pop out the bearings or the hubs. I use a blunt bit so as not to damage the hub itself.

Show us with some pics.

Use heat penetrating oil and keep pounding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
It'll plop right out

Drill some holes in a piece of plate so you can attach it to your hub with the lug bolts. A triangle-shaped piece with three holes for three lug-bolts should do. Drill a hole in the center of the plate so you can attach your slide-hammer. A few whacks with the slide hammer and the hub should pull out.

I tried all sunday to get my hubs out for a 5 lug conversion, but I really busted up my finger and almost took out my fender too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) ...

Im going to give it another shot on saturday though. Any suggestions? I was thinking of using heat, but it seems like if I used heat on the hub, it would expand into the bearing and have the adverse affect. I tried a piece of bar stock from the back side hammer it out with. My engine is out so i have more access then normal. Would a piece of barstock turned down in the center to fit inside the hub and with an OD of the hub (smaller then the bearing ID) work with enough force?

Haven't tried the airchisel option, but a big hammer works. You need 5 or more lbs hammer. Tried 3 lbs deadblow first but that's too wimpy. Use a correct size socket and extension as recommended in the Pelican article.
On one side, the outside inner race of the bearing still came out with the hub . Guess it was locked/rusted to the hub. Gonne be fun getting that off.
To get everything back together, the method in the Pelican article works like a charm (threaded bar + 2 bolts/washers + 2 sockets).

If you heat something with a round hole in it, the hole gets bigger, not smaller. It doesn't "expand into" the hole. The best way to visualize this is imagining the item as beads on a string. Arrange the string into a circle. If you heat it, the bits of string between the beads get longer, so the beads move away from each other, and the hole in the center gets larger.

Oh, you're right. I'll try heat again. I remember something about thermal expansion, but I forgot which way it went. My physics book says "imagine the hole were filled with the material."

Oh well, it looks like Im going to have to scrounge up a piece of metal to drill out and use. Good tip!

Greg, I'm glad to hear that! I've been telling people for 4 years that this is the way to get those hubs out without beating up yourself and the hub. I think you're the first person who listened! Thanks!

Hi,
Went through the same thing when I did my 5 lug conversion. Ben gave me the same advice. Works like a charm.
