I removed a pair of rear hubs from a 71 911. One gave pretty easily with the Eric Shea method using an old tbar and a BFH.
the other one took a whole lot more convincing to come loose. After about an hour of whacking with the tbar and BFH I switched to a impact socket that fit nicely in the partially removed bearing. With the torsion bar and the socket I mashed the back of the hub a bit. Is this gonna be a problem when reusing the hub? |

If you mashed the edge of the hub that rides against the wheel bearing or the edge that rides against the stub axle, you could have issues with play developing. That wouldn't be a good thing.
