Hey thanks to all who gave great advice for removing the hub/bearing assembly on my '88. After several days of liquid wrenching, I ended up using a combination of tapping on the back side with sacrifice bolts until the crust was broken, then when I had room I got a chisel between the splash plate and the hub assembly and tapped it loose. When I was tapping on the sacrifice bolts, I distributed the tapping as evenly as possible between the three bolts so the hub would not XXXX and jamb in the knuckle, and I went around the hub with the chisel as well. This method applies force directly to the frozen portion of the hub housing, and it came out pretty easy, considering its been on there for 15 years. As suggested, I applied anti- seize to the new hub so it will
come out easy when I break the next part.
Thanks to NAXJA for the great forum!
