Front axle removal -- could use a quick tip
« on: March 15, 2006, 07:20:19 PM »
having a time getting the pass side flange off the hub assembly.  The thing held on by 6 bolts.  How's it done, folks?  Bolts are removed, but they really seem to have stuck it on there at the factory.

know what equipment you got on it

Gosh, that certainly would've been a good idea.  Been snapping pics left and right, and it never occured to me to take one of this!  D'oh!

I got it, though.  Instead of a BFH, it required an RTS.

Ok, I'll bite....  RTS=??

Really tough screwdriver?
Ridiculously tiny scraper
Raunchy Topless Stripper?
Red tool (from) Sears?
Really tight Squeeze?


Removing the Screws?

Rolling the Suzuki?

Ripping to Shreds?

Well, I had meant Really Tiny Screwdriver, but now that you mention it, a Really Talented Stripper probably could've gotten it off without using her hands.
