Cant get hub off.
 
I'm doin my rear 5 lug swap on my s13 and the driver side went smoothly without any problem. now i'm on the passenger side and everything is unbolted but the damn hub wont come off the axel. i have beat it to hell with a hammer. I tried using a bearing puller. sprayed the hell out of it with penetrating oil.

Its pissing me the f*** off.

please help me.

heat the hub then beat the snot out of it. basic propane torch can be had for 20 bux

lol all the penetrating oil is goin to set my car on fire.

heat around the edges of the bearing dustcap, ie: the space between the stud and the dust cap in that crevice all the way around.


or you could do lukes idea that would work much faster
