Front hub won't come off?
 
I am trying to pull the front hub to install the Stillen brake cooling kit and can't get it off. I've taken off the ABS sensor and the 4 bolts on the rear of the hub and neither side will budge. Am I missing something obvious?

Wasn't missing anything they were just stuck. Had an oil filter wrench that fit almost perfectly on the hub edge and hit it with a sledge hammer and it popped out. Passenger side was much more stubborn than the drivers side.

It's amazing how stuck they get with no bolts supporting them.

They can be stuck pretty good at times. Almost like someone had welded them on place. :eek: One trick I do to get them off is to spray nut-buster around the fit area. Back the bolts out about half way. Putting a socket and extension on the bolt. Beat on the end of the extension a few times, then go to the next bolt. ;)
