Default Wheel Hub TIp

I know there are alot of places this thread could go, but I also realize it will help a lot with modifications. Here is a quick trick I found to easily remove your wheel hub, no hammer or air tools required. All that is required is a bolt and a socket.

All you do is remove the top and back bolt, leaving the forward bolt with only a few threads left. Make sure you have backed out the bolt most of the way. Put a 1/2in 12 point 13mm socket onto the bolt.

Angle the knuckle out and inset a bolt with a nut on it, roughly 4 inchs, use the nut to make it the right length so that when the knuckle is straight it is held against the swaybar endlink mount tab.

Finally turn your key to ON to activate the power steering, and turn the wheel into the bolt, using your jeep as a press. Results posted in a 1min video below.
