Why won't my hub assembly come off? All the bolts are out, been beating on it for a hour and it won't fricking move.

You taken it off before? You might need to spray it and let it soak for a while or give it some heat.

Or a bigger hammer. Lol

No I never have. Even with all the bolts out? Shouldn't it slide out pretty easily?

Nope.

Oh I just remembered I have a trick for it. Cut the wheel to one side, put the bolts partially in, and tap on the bolts to push it out.

What he posted but it will be a ****, not a small hammer here, bfh. there is also a trick using a socket, extension and running the truck up and using the power steering to force it out.

I use a broken 12" 3/8 extension slide it into the back holes and hammer it out evenly all the way around. Keeps from hammering on the screw heads, and also just long enough to do the power steering trick.

They are a mother sometimes. I have a snap-on tool that is made just for pressing those hubs out with the power steering.
