Default Wheel Hub Replacement Fun

2007 Silverado Classic with 152k. Started having issues with the ABS engaging at 1-2mph, with brakes applied.

So I ordered new wheel hubs to replace.

Holy Crap! Talk about the things being rusted in place! Two nights of soaking the assy. with penetrating oil, applying heat, using clever bolts to attempt to press the hubs off the steering knuckle.....nothing.

Picked up one of these and even then, wasn't sure they would break free. https://www.myautovaluestore.com/atd...hoCNqEQAvD_BwE

But after several hours of slamming it with a sledge hammer, finally.

I might be selling this after I finish the driver's side so of anyone's interested, I'll give a good price. PM me.

There's a tool for that. Not sure if this is the correct video, but this guy usually shows you how to do it.
