DIY: Removal of Front Wheel Hubs
#27
this is a great write up. I did the driver side front yesterday (wheel speed sensor was dead). It was very difficult to remove hub due to it being rusted to the knuckle. I would add one thing. Once you get the hub to move a tiny amount from hammering, spray a bunch of PB Blaster (if you got it to move you will see a tiny gap between the hub and spalsh shield) and let it work for several hours or overnight. The PB needs time to dissolve the rust. I
also saw on youtube the redneck slide hammer - you reinstall the brake rotor backwards with 3 lugnuts turned a few threads. Then you use your hands to pull the rotor back & forth like a slide hammer.
