I am doing the 4 to 5 lugs conversion and everything is doing smooth until i get to the part where i have to remove the rear wheel hubs. i tried to use puller but it wont move. What is the best way to remove the hubs? any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mel

 

try banging them on the sides with a rubber mallet. Probably have just rusted themselves together.

 

Lord those mamories look succulent ^^^^

yeah so try banging the **** outa it with a hammer, and do opposite sides while your at it to loosen it. And you gotto Bang Hard!! Good luck.

 

what's with all the bang-hard comments? mind somewhere else?! hahaha

yeah, they're hot...i wish I knew who they belong to! haha

 

she looks pregnat...
whats wrong with 4 lug?.. theres still alot of 4lug designs on the market

 

PM me the link to where you found those lost puppies LOL

Mine are stuck too, I'll bang away. Going 5 bolt for greater wheel choice, 17's, probably Enkei for me.

 

5 lugs also gives you bigger brakes. At least I hope you are going with the 4pot brakes with the swap.

 

This is very common. the splins of the half shafts are rusted to the rear hubs. Soak with PB-Blaster and wait.

Then put the half shaft nutt back on. (ONLY A LITTLE BIT) The use a block of wood and small sledge hammer against the half shaft nutt. You don't want to hammer directly on the half shaft! You could deform/strip the threads.

It took me two ppl to do this job. One to hold the block of wood and one to swing the sledge hammer. 2-3 whacks and the shaft was out.

The moral of the story? Get a bigger hammer!
