Don't pull the hub, take the bolts off on the backing plate and remove the
entire axle. Put the thing in a very big press, dress up in armor, and press
away. Be prepared to run.

Subject: [FOT] Rear Axle Hub
Hello All:
Today's project was to install new rear brake shoes on my TR4. Pulled off
the
brake drum and...oil on the shoes and on the drum surface. OK so I ordered
up
some new seals, rented a hub puller and following the instructions in the
shop
manual, proceeded to pull the hub. However, the hub doesn't want to move.
Not being an advocate of forcing the issue, thought I'd poll FOT to get some
suggestions. Apply heat with a heat gun to maybe loosen things up? Other
thoughts?
