Thanks for that re-assurance PR. Thats good knowing I wont need a hub assembly too.

This hub removal tool has a nice pin that your thread in and is supposed to back the hub out as it applies pressure to the axle shaft, This would work great but the axle just backs off, and I dont want to ruin anything moving the axle back into the tranny.

Instead of the thread-in pin, I have a slide hammer attached. made a sight difference tonight anter another hour of banging on this thing. Hope to get this wrapped up by tomorrow. Looks like I can get a tie rod end and a brake rotor in town tomorrow.

Hope this hub comes off!!
I have the whole knuckle ready to be removed. Just the 2 upper and lower bolts are holding it to the car, All 4 are loose and reay to be removed.
