Wheel Hub Wont Come Off

[crate]

need to change the front pass wheel bearing/hub in my 99 NBS 2wd. I have the 3 bolts out, rotor off and not matter what i do the wheel hub will not slide out. I have used heat, air hammer, slide hammer,chisels...hammers...bigger hammers...etc and the hub will not slide out??

 

Any other ideas on this, i've been messing with this since last friday. i live in IL so i'm sure the salt/etc has it nice and stuck in there, but come one any other ideas?

Soak it with WD-40 or something that eats rust, and smack the shit out of it. I had to use a 3 pound sledge to get mine off.

i've used about 2 cans of pb blaster on that damn thing, and have used a 2lb up to 12 lbs sledge but it wont even give at all...

 

About ready to remove the whole knuckle to see if that might help, but i dont want to screw up the boots for the ball joint/tierod, and dont think you can get those off without a fork(which destroys the boots)...

The only thing I can say is try to get behind it, maybe by turning the steering wheel, and hit it outwards.

I know the feeling. It took me 3 nights to get mine off. The only other thing I can suggest is trying this guy's solution.

Did u get that hub off?

C6Racer, is that a "Buford T. Justice" LeMans? Blowing doors off unsuspecting folk with a hidden hot Ponti 400 or 455?

Tuscon, it will be soon, hopefully. The part with the hot 400 anyway.

It's my '74 Luxury LeMans that's been in my family since the early '80s. It's seen better days. My older brother let it go down the drain when my dad handed it down to him and now I'm left with a whole bunch of work . My dad had the engine rebuilt back when I still didn't know jack about cars and now he doesn't remember exactly what he had done. All I know is the engine was bored out, probably to a 427, and the whole powertrain looks completely stock from the outside down to the 2-barrel Rochester. I haven't a clue as to how much power it makes besides that the stock 400 made a whopping 210bhp and 400-sumthin ft-lbs of torque. It does break the tires loose from the pavement on command, though, albeit jus one since it doesn't have a posi.

Someday, hopefully before I'm 30, when I gather enough funds I will have this car lookin like the day my dad got it, mint .
