Hello Ashley , well I might be on to something here. A jack hammer , never thought of that. I guess I could hire one for half a day . I will investagate the price to hire. Thanks for the video. This may be the trick to get this off. cheers

Hello , thanks for the video . The guy in the video has the back of the hub stuck in the housing. My problem is the splined axle stuck inside the hub . I am waiting for another puller to turn up in the mail and have another go at it. cheers.

Thanks for all the advice ... NOT You would think someone would actually reply with some sort of information . useless forum .

Hello , I have a toyota rav 4 2005 model , 2.4 litre 5 speed . I started a job to change both the rear hubs , as I am getting a bit of noise coming from the rear of the car while driving. The car has done 262 thousand klms . Anyway I managed to change one side fairly easy , the only slight problem was the 30mm nut on the axle that was very tight , but I got it with a 1000mm breaker bar. Now on the other side , it seems like the splined axle is really stuck to the old hub. Of course the 4 14mm nuts are off the hub , but I can just not seperate the hub from the axle. I have used pullers whille hitting it with a hammer , spraying heaps of rp 7 into it , but it will just not budge . Has anybody else had this issue , and if so , how did you end up getting it off ? The hub actually can move around a little on the 4 mounting studs , so it is the axle stuck fast inside the hub. Do I need an oxy torch to heat the hub , or some other special type of puller ? the online video on u tube made it look straight forward , but it really is not straight forward. any suggestions will help . thank you
