heat is the answer my friend..........blow torch all around the front hub, you will need to replace your oil seal though

yeah i tried a little heat but not too much because the ****ing gas ran out.lol. im doing a full rebuild so the seal aint a problem. will try again tomorrow with more heat and if that dont work then its time to bust out the 1" drive gun from work.
