Official sure-fire, guaranteed Tiger rear hub removal tech tip:
1. Jack up rear of car.
2. Remove both rear wheels.
3. Remove brake drums using large hammer.
4. Loosen brake adjusters.
5. Now you can actually remove drums.
6. Remove cotter pin/bent nail/paper clip from hub nut.
7. Loosen hub nut by 2.3245 turns, approximately.
8. Spray penetrant all over hub, threads, nut and associated brake parts
(use butter-flavoured Pam if Krol or Liquid Wrench is not available).
9. Take large sledge and beat end of axle threads unmercifully until a
nice ridge is formed. This will help loosen things up a bit.
10. Replace drums.
11. Bolt wheels back onto car.
12. Lower car off jack.
13. Carefully pull car out of driveway into street (it's best to do this
very late at night).
14. Place car in first gear, rev engine to 3200 RPM, drop clutch.
15. Frantically pump brakes to stop.
16. Back out of neighbor's yard.
17. Re-adjust brakes.
18. Again place car in first gear, rev engine to 3200 RPM, drop clutch
19. Repeat.
20. Repeat.
21. Have wheels fallen off yet?
22. Repeat as necessary.
23. After car has landed on rear bumper, you will know your task has
been completed.
24. Tow car back into garage.
25. Go back into street, pick up stray pieces like wheels, bearings,
back-up lamps, license plates, bumper over-riders, etc.
26. Now follow shop manual to pull out axles.
Note: if this does not work, you will need to add some impact energy to
remove the hubs. Back out the rear wheel lug nuts three turns, then
repeat steps 18 through 26.
Good Luck!
