IH8DSM · 12-26-2011, 10:41 PM

Ok so I need some tips/tricks/tom cruise devil magic to help me get this axle out of these 5 lug hubs I have. I've tried every trick i can think of (wd40, small fire, axle puller, hammer, slide hammer) and its still barely budged. So help me out here peoples.

NEEDS MOAR HEAT!!!!! Oxy torch... I've found the propane things are useless except for small nuts. Shit, I'll break out the oxy for an M6

I just used a really good mallet and solid hits. Leaving the nut on to prevent damage. More heat should work though. Or you can just stop being a sissy and yank it out..its splined for crying out loud :-)
