Pulled both hub brgs. today.....

I want to thank who ever posted the thread that I read a while back. I DO NOT want to take any credit for his idea, which by the way, worked AWESOME!! I altered it a little. I used a 14mm x 1.50 wheel stud from NAPA and screwed it into the hub's threaded holes ( I used 2 one top and one bottom) then used a 4 inch 1/2" extension and an old rusty socket for a spacer, held it against the wheel stud as my buddy started the truck and turned the steering wheel, thus pushing the wheel stud and extension against the axle housing pushing the hub bearing out of the spindle. Then moved to the other stud I screwed in and had him turn it the other way. I have NEVER removed front hubs this easy on these things before! ( worked at a dealer for 6 years and done many of these!)(wished some Dodge engineer would have thought of this and put it in the service manual!) I am almost looking forward to the next set of front u-joints I have to install, just to try it again!

So anyhow, whoever posted that info, PLEASE take credit for yourself. PM me! I am thinking about puting a kit together and selling them on e-bay! I don't want to run into any patent infringements. I want you to get your cut! Who knows where it could go!!!!! LOL

Are you talking about the hammer head inbetween the parts thing, because thats what I posted and use. If that is what you're talking about, there will be no infringement because I learned it from someone else as well. Go make yourself some money! I bet that would sell pretty good!
