Many, many thanks to all of you who replied with helpful suggestions.

I opted to try the vice grips approach, and looking closely at the grease c=
aps it looks like it had been removed with vice grips before.

It came off without too much trouble.

Thank you again.

Now the hubs are off and ready to get turned as I order new brake pads.

That was the impetus for a flurry of activity in the garage.  I expect the =
car to be immobilized for at least another month, more likely two as the pr=
oject list is pretty long.

And I'm I Dallas, so the weather is ok for working on cars this time of yea=
r.
