How do I keep my axle from spinning while I'm trying to take off a wheel bearing/hub nut? :twak:
Euclid said:Since I don't have an impact I figured a prybar would give too my play to break that nut. I ended up taking the wheel off/removing the center cap and putting the wheel back on. Came off like the breeze.
The hub on the other hand... had to use a 3-jaw puller to get it off and that just ended up separating the 2 pieces of the hub. The I beat the piece with the 3 boltholes in it with a BFM. Wouldn't budge. I finally hit it enough to bend it out of round and I had to put the holts back in (backwards) and used them to press it off of the axletube.
Woo!

Take bolts half way out. Beat the snot out of the bolts...replace bolts later.
After hub is out, wire brush inside of knuckle and outside of bearing. Grease it well with antiseize or bearing grease. Never had an issue after the first time.
