I'm swaping front differentials and hit a snag when taking out the axles and manual locking hubs. I can't get the hub body off!!! There are six bolts w/ centering cones that I can't seem to break free?>?>? How do I do this? The Toyota service manual for the truck says to use a brass drift and hammer the bolts, and it seems that would help break the cones free. Not for me, I used a cobalt drift and a BFH(Big [email protected]#$ing Hammer) and no budge. Haven't resorted to heat w/ penetraing oil but I don't think it should be this hard. Am I doing something wrong??? I removed the rotor to try and see the back of the bolts but i can't see them. Are they studs that are pressed in? Help!!!! The rear diff went great and I don't wanna get stuck w/ the just the rear in and hit an Ice storm and need my 4x4.
Thanks for any advice!!!!!
