2 important findings:
- Axle nut is a hobag. The crimp was folded over too much for any amount of screwdriver/punch action to solve. Electric impact to the rescue!
- Hub rusted to knuckle. No amount of PB Blaster and hammering worked. Probably damaged something from the hour of frustrated hammering. PB + a couple heavy hits with a hammer + 3-jaw puller (LINK to mine) worked!
Will report back if there are ABS or other issues (I didn't remove mine). The motion of the 3-jaw puller cleared the area where the sensor lives... so it didn't seem necessary. |
I totally agree with you about the axle nut being punched in too flat. I used a flat head and basically hammered and cut a slit in it and finally folded it up. That was the most troublesome and time consuming piece. Everything else worked easy so thank god!
