2G Front FWD Wheel Hub Assembly removal?

[sureshot971]

1995 GST. Bad front driver side wheel bearing

My wheel bearing is bad so I got a new hub assembly.

I got my wheel off, then the axel nut, and then the rotors.
My next step would be to remove the 4 bolts behind the wheel hub correct?
The only problem is there is no room to get at any of the 4 bolts with a socket or wrench.

What do you guys recommend??

I would recommend takingthe nuts off both lower balljoints, tie rod, and the upper balljoint. Then once you have your suspension out. Take out the 4 bolts and get that sucker in a press. I just did mine, and let me tell you that sucker was in there, and the brake rotor was stuck to the assembly bad. I ended up using a thirty ton press. You will have to get creative to get the assembly to sit in the press right. If you need any more help just post back Also since you said you already got the rotor off. You might try taking off the upper balljoint locknut. Then once you have seperated the two pieces you should have more room to get the 4 bolts out

Thanks for the link helped some.

The only part I am having real trouble with is getting the axle out of the hub.

Anybody have any clever tricks that might work?

Oh, you'll have fun with that. I needed a new axle because I couldn't get mine out, even with a 15 ton press, heat, hub puller, and a ton of PB Blaster. I ended up buying a new axle.

My dad just ran to the store to get a hub puller for me. I will let you guys know how it goes.
