Rear Hubs on 1988 RT4WD removal tips

Anyone have any removal tips for the rear hubs on a 1988 RT4WD model? Having a hard time getting them off the car.

Do you have to take off the trailing arm to remove the hub? Tried a 3 gear puller but pressing on the rear CV joint that hard seems like it will damage the CV or the rear transmission.



I am guessing this question is in the correct sub since it involves the rear drive axels.

  • Here is how I got it off with a couple bolts, washer, and nuts.

    You can see part of the bearing still on the hub. I think that is called the "race?" Then you can see some of the bearing under the clip, then another unit below that.

    I have to take apart the other unit, clean it up, and get the other race off the hub.

    It is strange what little bit really holds on a wheel to the car.
