im in the process of going five lug on my s14 base...i made a thread a while back on rust and parts seizing long before i got the parts...i wanted to be prepared for such an event...and i knew it would happen to me because low and behold; it did...i have everything necessary and i swapped the three corners fine...then i move on to the driver rear...everythings off...the hub wont come off the axle...simple as that...the last time i bap'd i was stuck in the same situation until i got a hub puller, it came right off...this times different...ive dont everything i could...

-calipers obviously off
-hub bolts X4 are obviously off
-hub nut is obviously off
-backing of bearing is no longer sealed to the spindle/knuckle

-i PB blaster'd the crap outta the axle and the back of the bearing
-tried to hit the axle thru the assembly with a mallet just enough before crowning the axle
-i got a hub puller; no
-i got a 2/3 ton large puller; nope
-i leveled the hub assembly with the axle by jacking it up and tried all of the above...nope

the only thing this hub is holding onto is the splines....why? o why gawd?!! and i know it sounds simple...because it is! but for some reason, whenever i do stuff, its the simple things that are messed up...in fact both the hub puller and large puller started to shave the axle...so two broken craftsman rachets and a sea of metal shavings later; i had to slap everything together and now i am running the "19 lug convo." why wont it slide off? any ideas? i have the tools and the know-how, its just being very difficult...

I seriously thought that I would never get mine off. The only advice I can give is lots of Liquid Wrench and a few hammers.
Liberal application of Liquid Wrench and voilent application of hammer. See if you can get a screwdriver in there to and pry.
Good luck!

use a big hammer, if that doesnt work, use a bigger one. As I once heard from a very politically incorrect person, "hit it like its an ugly woman" though I do not condone hitting any women at all, thats pussy shit.

HAHAHAH damn that was funny.

In the end, all through human history violence has always been the deciding factor. Beat it to fit and paint it to match.

Im lucky, mine just needed a few taps to fall off. Why so rusty for a cali car?
Also the hub puller started to shave the axle? Thats crazy...might want to try dropping the diff so its easier to push out the axle...
