vn rear disk hand brake hub removal

[waynerc]

urgent help please
my lad has hit kerb on back left rear, have removed wheel, have released handbrake cable and caliper, but cannot remove hub, tried hitting, levering but absolutely no movement from the hub what soever. ive also drowned the area in wd40 but nothing even shows any sign of budging

the hub or the brake disc?

Get a bigger hammer.

I had the same problem once. Tried soaking it in WD40 overnight, bashing it with a mallet, lightly levering it.etc. Took me many hours of trying to get the bastard off. Ended up getting so frustrated I grabbed a long socket extension and levered the crap out of it without caring about damage. It made a loud *crack* and fell off with no damage done luckily. Rust is a bitch.

thanks for the advice about the hub you were 100% on the ball took me a can and a half of wd40 and about another 4 hours of levering plus some hammering, many thanks

always have a 12 pound sledge hammer around good for removing axles and hubs if all else fails
