Re: help how do i get the hubs off (classciv)
You take the whole knuckle out of the car.
Find a ship with a press and have them press your hub out.
It usually requires you to replace the wheel bearing.
Maybe that's why you are taking the hub out (wheel bearing bad)?
Or maybe to replace some broken wheel studs???

Re: help how do i get the hubs off (4drEF)
1. Purchase a socket set that has a variety of LARGE (ie. 21mm and bigger) sockets
2. Purchase a large sledgehammer and a c-clip remover (get the one that can be inverted)
3. Purchase an anvil
4. Remove knuckle from car (ie. remove brake caliper, caliper bracket, etc)
5. Place knuckle on workbench having the wheel studs facing DOWN.
6. Find a socket that fits the hub (the centre section) perfectly. I believe it might be a 27mm socket
7. hammer the hell out of the socket. 4 or 5 good whacks will separate the hub from the wheel bearing.
8. At this point, you will notice the inner race of the wheel bearing has also found a new home on your hub...you have a few choices:
a. Replace the entire hub with a new one, including a new wheel bearing (Hub is around $180; wheel bearing is around $40-$80).
b. Replace the wheel bearing. Take the hub to a shop to have them extract the inner race from your old hub. (i have instructions on how to replace the wheel bearing too).
c. Remove the other inner race from the wheel bearing, repack the wheel bearing full of grease, insert the hub into the wheel bearing and install the other inner race that isn't attached.
9. reinstall.

Re: help how do i get the hubs off (Driven)
to get it off to replace a broken wheel stud.
Take off the rotor assembly (which you already did)
Take off the Axle not (can be down with the tire still on the ground)
Get a Sliding Hammer.
Attach sliding Hammer to existing wheel studs (if needed use vise grips to hold it on there)
Start wailing on the sliding hammer it should come out eventually
Knock the wheel studs out put new ones in and reinstall. (when reinstalling make sure the axle is lined up right)
