I replaced a hub recently...

Remove the disk from the car, then take it to someone who has an impact hammer to remove the two screws holding the hub in... after removing the two screws the hub falls out.

I took it to sears who loosened the screws at no charge. You may be able to rent an impact hammer at a local parts store.

Good luck.

Hi

1. remove a brake caliper
2. remove two bolts to Brake rotor ring
3. remove a hub cap shown as #26-071
4. remove a big nut shown as #33-042

Big nut is the Metric, 35 mm
