Removal Of Front Hubs

[skyline_freak_r33]

Hey guys

Was about to finish removing the front hubs today for a 5 stud conversion but i came across a problem. The 4 stud hubs which have been on my car for over 17 years aren't budging. I've tried hammering it out (Don't care if the thread gets stuffed). Does anyone know of a special trick/procedure to get them out? Is there a tool i can purchase which will make it easier?

Cheers

Probably pressed in so need to get them pressed out.

Wheelworx have a press and they been doing all my bushes so see them.

but i've removed all of the necessary bits and cant be stuffed putting it all back on..

cheers anyway

they should just slide off once the nut has been undone, Are we talking the front hubs on a 4wd or Rwd. 4wd are pressed in IIRC and the fronts just slide off with the Rwd.

EDIT!!

For some reason i thought you were talking the front hubs, The rear hubs are going to be tight and will probably need to be pressed out.

were talking about the front 4 stud hubs on a rwd.. its weird ive taken the rotor off and undone the rear 32mm bolt which was holding the hub in place. It won't budge for some reasons. It hasn't been touched since it was manufactured obviously. I tried hitting it out and putting the rotor on it to give it some leverage whilst pulling.. But wouldn't move any idea?

cheers for the help

gear puller !!!! slide hammer ?

[Mr.Massive]

Spray a shitload of degreaser and try. If that doesn't work you might have to invest into a gear puller. You can get cheap ones

yeah got the hubs off today ended up buying a gear puller from supercheap and put it on the back of the hub. It put heaps of pressure on it and released it.

cheers for the help
