I know Hub Removal has been on earlier threads but I'm just having a check of understanding as I think I'm using the correct tool and correct procedure.
I'm on the front axle and have removed the outer hub using the extractor. Once clear, I removed the split pin and nut and the outer bearing and distance piece slid off the shaft. But this is where I'm now stuck: I've replaced the outer hub and wheel nuts and tried again with the extractor but the inner hub will not shift; the more I tighten the extractor, the more distortion I will create in the hub casting.
So... Do I need to start using a hammer? If so, where is best to hit? Or have I missed something?
Grateful for your advice on this please?
