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 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
