Hey Tigger, here is the .pdf from the service manual. HTH!


2G Front Hub Replacement

[genedjr]

Be ready for a workout getting the hubs off the CV shafts.  One side of mine was a snap needing only a single sharp smack with a 2lb hammer.  The other required an overnight soak in penetrating oil and 5 hours of wheel puller work using a 5ft cheater bar.  Destroyed two wheel pullers before it came loose.

I did clean them real good and used lotsa anti-seize when I put them back together.
enjoy

Thanks Sall, that confirmed my numbers. Appreciate it!

Gene, thanks for the heads up, I've dealt with some stubborn ones before, haha! I've got a pretty stout puller, plenty of PB and cheater bars, and if all else fails, a torch!

Thanks again guys.

I spent a couple hours chiseling one out bit by bit because dirt and corrosion had locked the steel hub flange into the aluminum knuckle. The rest went normally. I really like a cheap air hammer to drive out the half-shaft and loosen the hub flange.

Just an update, job finally done and all torqued to spec.

I got off easy I guess, hardly needed the puller. Caliper bolts were harder to remove than the hubs, lol! Still only about 2 1/2 hours with hand tools in the driveway.

Thanks again for everyone's input!

Glad to hear it!  Now off to the next issue

Straight from my FSM:


Axle Nut 118 lb ft
Hub to Knucke 70 lb ft

Caliper Bracket 137 lb ft

And FWIW on my Michigan driven 2001 both left and right fronts came off fairly easy with some mild persuasion from the hub puller.

I had to torch both of the front ones off mine they were so corroded and one completely crumbled, Glad to hear you got it done with little trouble.

The only Aurora hub I ever had to do was my driver's side on my '99 and that thing fell off when the bolts came out haha
