Decided to get serious with the car and do some vital replacements to get the car going sideways. Since 2011 and present i've dabbled with some modifications here and there: ss oil lines, mech omp removal, godspeed radiator, and electric fan from some van.
Thinking I could get the car drift ready in 6 days for an upcoming drift clinic...
Who the hell was I kidding?!
Then came in the new the parts
And then problems began piling up...
Seriously, it was like they welded this sh*t on!
Cleaned up the rear harness because I couldn't get anything else accomplished.
And so I'm going to get some dtss eliminators presssed in at a shop because, look at my garage, no space for a nice fancy press. And only on one hub too, why? Because the left one is still stuck on the axle like a mf.
Any suggestions on how to get it off? i've pounded on it with a mallet, used a 3 jaw puller, plasted it with pb. Won't even budge like a fat man on a couch watching the Food Channel. *le sigh*

Are you trying to take te axle nut off with an impact wrench? Is it a high powered quality one? Should zip the thing right off.
Where did your car live prior to Colorado? One thing that is really nice about the cars I have had since living here is that I haven't had any issue with stripped bolts and such.
Quite the contrary in Pennsylvania.

I hate it when the damn nitrile gloves rip and then you can't get a new pair on cause you're hands are all sweaty. Argh, lol.

Lived in Seattle, Washington for a few years and spent the rest of its days in Colorado, purchased it from the original owner.
The right rear hub slid off like butter
It's the left side that's giving me such a hard time, won't even budge...any suggestions?
