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.

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

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
