  1. 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
