[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 6146, member: 782"] The hub is bored with an A-taper and the end of the axle the same , there is a key way in there , the fit is tight , sometimes if your lucky you can hit the hub from the back side and get it to pop off , it don't happen that way very often , and take care on hitting it to much as it will bent up the hub , the correct way to do it is to use a puller , and it has to be a pretty stiff puller at that . losen the bolt and remove the washer then reinstall the bolt loose , this gives you something flat to push on and the tip of the puller doesn't damage the threads on the end of the shaft , once you get some pressure on the hub hit the turning bolt of the puller with a mall and it should pop off , if it still don't heat the hub and repeat procedure , once you get the hub off it still isn't a walk in the park as the seal is recessed in the end of the axle tube , drill a hole into the seal and use a dent puller , screw the dent puller into the seal and slide hammer it out , you can try and dig it out with an awl and a old screw drive but the dent puller is the way to go , if you don't have a dent pull , drill the hole and install a screw then grap the screw with a vise grip , be sure to torgue the bolt to specs which if I remeber right is 600 ft lbs and loctite the bolt , good luck , fishfiles [/QUOTE]
