Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

All 3 bolts are out already. I'm leaving it alone til tomorrow. Going to HF to get an air chisel. I've already beat the snot out of that rear hub plate. I even used a seawall to try to get between the spindle and plate. Nothing yet.

Good luck and more pics when you do all this.

Beating it from the rear wil only make it worse it has to slide out of the machined knuckle bore that will just mushrooms it GD useless PB Blaster SUCKS.

Your right about not mushrooming the back of it. I am not sure it pokes through very far tho. Driving it with the bolts is his best bet now.

Sucks it's this far gone and trying to get it out without the hub on it.

Yeah, it’s a pain.

Needs a knuckle.

Bought these for nothing. View attachment 352900
The center of the hub separated, but the hub end piece is stuck. Not even budging. Beat it with a mini sledge--no dice. View attachment 352901View attachment 352902View attachment 352903

Axle is out.View attachment 352905
Would heat help to get the back end off the spindle? Any suggestions or ideas to get it off?

Air hammer. I live in the south and salt is here but… when I rebuilt my whole front everything came apart. The only part I needed the air hammer was the bolts for the upper control arms.

And I’m working 16hr days to feed the beast. Good luck my brother!
