Hi I'm a newly registered user to this site. I've been using the site for a few years for various repairs when my haynes manual fails to give me specifics. Unfortunately, no matter where I look online it fails to provide complete instructions on how to remove the rear hub assembly properly. I've found instructions on this site on just how to remove and install the rear hubs but they are just about the same as my haynes.

Last year me and my friend removed the passenger side rear hub assembly. It took us forever there is a metal plate that houses the rear hub assembly. that Housing is the most difficult part of the hub bearing removal. We managed to wedge it out using flat head screw drivers, other wedge type tools, and a hammer. And did pop it out eventually. However, there has to be a better way I saw mention of using a gear puller through this site. I went to auto zone to get a three prong puller its a jaw puller. It looks like a gear puller obviously the wrong type of tool. It was too small and did not help to pull out the hub assembly. Any suggestions on this part of the repair would be greatly appreciated.

 

Once you get the bolts out, just hit the flange with a big hammer.
