What haven't I tried. Just bought this truck used and as I'm taking it apart, I'm wondering if it hadn't been sitting in water.

Hello,

Try soaking it with penetrating oil, then use a hammer to tap it off. If this don't work you may have to use a little heat. If you have torches you can heat it up all around the hub (not to hot) and then tap it out with a hammer. Let it cool naturaly, don't cool it with water.

Hope this helps....PLEASE ACCEPT

Thanks, Dean

Didn't work. I bought a wheel puller and that finally did it.
