Hub removal tool

[SAndreasen]

Can you still buy the tool that presses the hub free using the power steering

Just use a socket and extension or a piece of pipe from bolt flange to frame. just did mine about a month ago and just used socket and extension. Worked Slick!

Same here, socket and extension many years ago.

Genos used to have them couldn’t see it in my last catalog . Normally involves me with a bfh and a sacrificial socket and beat the crap out of it . I see they have a tool that Goes in an air hammer

When I was at the truck shop, we tried everything. Joe even bought a giant slide hammer. Some of them came right out and some of them took three days of beating and banging, penetrating oil, and heat.

This might work for those sized up ones.

@SAndreasen, Just back out the hub bolts a couple of turns, use whatever to push against bolt flange and frame. Start truck and turn to put pressure against hub bolts, not to much wheel turning or you'll destroy extension if using one! Ask me how I know that one. Have a 1/2" extension that'll work around a corner for sale! Work the 2 bolts on the same side of the hub at the same time, then switch to the other 2. I had my truck up on jack stands which made turning the wheels easier and didn't shift the truck if only having 1 side up in the air. Wish I'd known this back when I did my '01 1500 front hubs! Spent 2 days in the tight quarters beating on those hub bolts!!!!! Glad to help steer you in an easier way to get them D@$n hub s off. Good luck with repairs! Are you doing u-joints also while your there?

That’s the one for an air chisel.

OK Didn't realize that. How about something like this? It does away with the power steering.

They can be A rotten sob that’s why I thought if I could find that tool I’d give it a whirl

On a Durango I used an air chisel, right in between hub and knuckle, it came out like a charm. Did all the other stuff before too...

Downside of it, the Dustshield is trashed that way, needed new ones.

Double post. My bad.

I like that lisle think I’ll give it a whirl

 

[Topzide]

$90 for something to use once or twice when a socket and extension works just fine! I know that I'm running out of room for special tools to work on things. If I made a living with tools, maybe?

After I demolished a couple of extensions on a frozen 2nd Gen hub it was real easy to pop for the Snap On version…plus it’s just the right length for doing this project unassisted….

Also a lot less money back when I bought mine…
