getting hubs out of knuckle

[spider_slayer]

i have a pair of rear z32 uprights i'm trying to get the hubs out of. me and a buddy tried to pry them out but that jsut was not goin to work. any input would be great.

Should be four bolts in a rectangle accessible form the back of the upright. And one huge (25mm??) nut for the parking brake assembly.

the knuckels are off a z32. hence they are not on a car and all bolts have been removed.

its jsut insanely hard to get them out. we bent a prybar today trying.

set up the upright on 2 jack stands, hub facing down. Now place a big socket on the back of the hub and pound away with a hammer.

Try a little pb blaster penetrating spray, spray it on and let it soak for a while and then try again.

I used a press at my friends shop. They are a real pain to get out sometimes.

yea, i'll probally be trying this next week when i get a day off again.

someone else sugested putting the 4 bolts back half way and using them as a driver to hamer out. so i'll try that too and let you all know ow it turns out.

why are you guys forgetting the all important HEAT. yes definately use the bolts and hammer out. but first heat up the "knuckle" (whatever you wanna call the surrounding metal) get it pretty warm almost hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch. and then spray some pb or Wizzle d!ck 40 on there (preferably where the seam of the hub hits the knuckle ) and the pound the back of the four bolts with a three pund sledge repeat until extraction is complete.
