Front brake change cant get hub off? probably cause im stupid...

[dynoram]

Ok bought new pads and rotors for the 1988 k5. Haynes manual didnt show any special tools so i dove right in. Now i have the caliper and pads off no problem now for the rotor. i pull the 6 hex head bolts out of the manual hub pull the assembally out remove the c-clip and wire out of the hub. Now im left with what almost looks like a splined nut pushed onto the axle. How do i get that damn thing off nothing is budging! Is it threaded or just slip on? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif how do i get the damn thing apart. I have 2 half sticks of dynamite left over from the 4th of july i recon i might have to use them soon. Please help

A trip to the auto supply house and purchasing a hub socket is in order. About $15 and the nut will come right off. I guess everyone has learned this way the first time. Good luck.

Autozone does have it , talk to the right guy . Mine actually says its for d44 axles . It should have 4 prongs , be right on display on the bottom near the front of the tool aisle /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif
