Remvoing Front Hubs.....advice

[Transmatic]

I've unbolted everything and sprayed with PB blaster and banged enough with a rubber mallet that I bent a perfectly good brake rotor and STILL can't get the front hub off. Is the best method to use puller to get it off? How quickly will the job go using a puller?

with a puller it will take you 30 seconds per side haha

Fantastic. I should have went with that method first. Might as well go ahead and invest in a puller from Harbor Freight. Thanks!

17 years ago I made a little tool for probably a dollar with a bolt and a threaded sleeve that I still use today. How much does a puller cost?

I paid $12.99, which was well worth it after all the swearing I had previously engaged in while trying to get the hubs off. Those fu*kers are on there damn good. I'll be replacing the bearings in each hub....does it require a press to get them back on? Or will some elbow grease/2x4 and hammer suffice?

$13 isn't bad to save yourself the headache. All you do to re-install is tighten the nuts back down to their torque spec.

Front hub castle nut is 51 lbs./ft. btw.

That is the only good thing about Harbor Freight you can get what you need for cheap for that once in awhile you need that tool! Don't expect quality,just expect a tool to use every now and then for cheap that most of the time will work!
