Looked at the service manual pdf i downloaded, looked at all the threads on google and the youtube videos, and i still cant get the rear hub off the car.

What ive done so far.

Removed lug nuts/wheels
screwed in screws in the holes on the outer drum and popped it out
removed the dust cap thing
removed the 32mm bolt
removed the huge washer with the square tab

At this point im stuck and have no clue how to get it off. A friend who works for tires plus says that once you remove the 32mm screw you should be able to slide the hub assembly off if not hit it with a hammer and it should loosen up. I hammered the crap out of it and nothing. If anyone knows how to get this thing off please let me know.

 

anyone? remove 32mm bolt and washer and then your suppose to........

 

it should just come right off after removing the nut and washer. i've never really had to hammer on it.

 

thats what I was told, but its not budging. I hammered the CRAP out of it and its still just there. Just for giggles i removed the other drum/32mm bolt on the other side to see if that hub/wheel bearing assembly would just slide off and that one was doing the same thing.

 

found some threads on google where the bearings will get stuck and people chisel/cut and heat them up, but they have no problem taking the hub off...hopefully someone here can help me out.

 

 

ended up renting a hub puller from advance auto parts. came off on the first tug. Thanks for the help though

 

my first thought "is the emergency brake engaged?" this happened to me a while back. im so used to parking my car with the e-brake on that it didnt even cross my mind.

then it hit me DUH!.. u IDIOT! went and disengaged the ebrake and the drums fell off lol...
