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? |

QUOTE Should I sand it down to clean it up? Do you have a die grinder? I'd use a variable speed grinder/drill with a round stone bit. Probably should clean it up a bit. Sometimes they come out with a nice clean whack and sometimes they're impossible. Sounds like you got the best of both worlds. |
