Thanks for the great question.

What parts have been removed so far? I know you said the 4 bolts from the rear, but what else?

Thanks

Reply to Fordanswerman's Post: I removed the entire brake assembly, rotor and the 4 bolts on the back side of the hub assembly. I also removed the clip on the front of the hub that holds the turn dial for free spin or lock.

Great!

Sounds like you need leverage now.

You will need to take a prybar and go between the axle housing and the axle and pry the axle away from the center of the axle housing. This will push out the axle, and the hub assembly together. Then after getting it out a little, just push the axle back through the hub back towards the axle housing.

Remember to lube up the outter part of the oring to make easy installation.

Thanks

Reply to Fordanswerman's Post: Does the axle come out with the hub or does the axle get pryed out a little just to release the hub than the axle goes back in the housing
