removing the rear hub on the s13's

[adrianfromthecastle]

mm kay... what's the trick and how do I do it?

I removed the big arse 32mm nut in the middle of the hub, but the hub won't come off... is there anything else I'm supposed to do or something?

Are there 4 screws in the wheel bearing that the wheel hub is pressed in to and the bearing is bolted to the knuckle/spindle? I haven't actually done this, I'm just going off what I read and heard about it.

taken from ondemand5.com i use at my work. (couldnt copy and paste it so i typed it for you)

1. Raise and support vehicle. allow suspension to hang free. remove wheel. depress brake pedal and remove wheel bearing lock nut. remove brake caliper and wire out of way. remove rotor. separate drive shaft from hub and knuckle assembly by tapping shaft inward with a rubber hammer.

2. remove lower ball joint cotter pin and nut. spearate ball joint from hub and knuckle assembly. remove lower strut assembly and upper and lower links from hub and knuckle assembly. remove hub and knuckle assembly. installation is reverse.

You don't need to do what was listed above in step two. There are four bolts on the backside of the spindle that hold the hub on I think they are 14mm. You might have to rotate the axle to get a socket on the bolts. After you remove the bolts you might have to tap on the hub with a hammer to get it to come off but that's about it.
