Rear hubs, s13 cant remove them for s***. idk what to do...

[s13gebala]

im replacing the 4 luggers to 5, so i unbolt those 4 bolts and pop that 36mm off and i cant pull that hub back.

the motherf***ers rusted to s*** or something.

i tried hammering, pulling, im all dirty from all those positions and pissed off.

someone help

well let start with which one you working on. and you can try to remove the whole knuckle and have it press out. frontrear look at what you may have to pull out and what you may have missed. i used a slide hammer(heavy duty) you will need to press in the rear. so good luck or just have a shop do it for you just bring then the hubs.

^^^ it's obvious he's working on the rear from the way he described the bolts/nut he removed.

you just need more leverage.

have you tried putting the wheel back on & just tigthening the lug nuts on it enuf so it doesn't wiggle around - then you (and maybe a friend) can pull/wiggle the wheel to get the hub to break loose.

Adding some "liquid wrench"/pb blaster/etc. around the back of the hub doesn't hurt either.

If you can get your hands on an air hammer that may help as well. I've never really had an issue removing hubs, double check your work to make sure you didnt forget something.

i just changed the front hubs on my s14 and had to rent a puller from autozone but when i got the hubs off a piece of the bearing was rusted on the knucle so if the puller doesnt work for u take apart the knucle and take it to a machine shop with the new hubs and the will pull and press ur new ones

air chisel for the win

well maybe the question i asked was a stupid. but hope you got what you need to do done and done safely.

I had the same problem when I got in a fight with a curb. I spent about 4 hours trying to pry or beat it off. So I just took off everything: spindle, hub, axle, lca, the whole deal. Then I clamped down the axle on my bench, and swung a 3lb hammer like a baseball bat. Jk not that hard lol, but you get the idea. Good luck.

If at first you don't succeed, .......Get a bigger hammer.
