How do I remove this hub ??

[mtnmankev]

I am cleaning up my off grid property so I can list it for sale and disappear from the rest of the world, so the scrap metal pile needs to be gone through and the different types of metals need to be separated.
There's probably a special tool for this, but I don't have it, and I sure don't care what gets destroyed in the disassemble process ......

It's a spindle no? Pop the cap and take the nut off...

I tried that.
It acts like it's threaded on and requires a special socket ............

Thermite comes to mind.

It appears to be thin sheet metal, but I don't have a cutting torch head small enough to fit in the space to just cut it.

long pry bar pry it up each side around and around til it starts pulling off. it wil dent it up damage it though. im looking for 1987 older front dually hub rotors calipers like that... for my C20 truck,,, hmm.. cant find here..

I finally got them off, and they were not made to be used again.
They were driven in TIGHT and I wasn't able to pry them off, so I used my gas welding tip to melt a slot in each one, then used pry bar.
That old front end is now in the scrap pile ready to be hauled off.

I'm pretty sure they could be removed and reinstalled with the right tools. Figuring out might be an endeavor on youtube.

I wasn't going to mess with trying to save those dust caps, that front end came off an RV we got for the engine and everything else is junk.

I imagine it doesn't cost too much to find replacements anyways, lol.
