im swapping out the rear hub in my s14. everything is all unbolted and a tried a lot of pb blaster and a 5lb sledge but it doesnt want to seem to budge. any tips or tricks? its late and i didnt want to wake up the neighbors with the hammer noises. im thinking about torching it in the morning

What won't budge? the hub out of the assembly? All i've ever had to do is put the assembly on blocks, then get a big socket (around 30mm I think) set it on the hub and hit it with a hammer a few times.

Did you get it off? I am in the same boat now? I have tried a hammer and a puller on the axle but seeing as the axles are half shafts they just slide back, yet the hub will not budge? I would like to thank the midwest
