Removing wheel hubs
Removing wheel hubs
Searched and found some info, but nothing pertaining to my particular problem. All of the bolts are out and were no problem. I threw on the hub puller and it started to push the axle out, but left the hub connected to the knuckle. I only went a little ways and didn't press the axle spindle all the way out because I don't want to damage it. If the hub is froze to the knuckle, how to get it off? Can I press the axle spindle all the way out without damaging it and then use a slid hammer to separate the two?
Some pics:
Its most definitely pushing the axle out, but not separating the hub.

I have been in your exact shoes before. All 4 of mine went out actually.
What you will need to do is heat the hub around the knuckle, since it seems to be seized to the knuckle. Use a torch with map gas. Then you can use a chisel and hammer to slowly separate it from the knuckle. It will enventually come off, just takes some time and patience.
PM me if any more info is needed!!
