"You can move the world with a big enough lever"My personel favorite is the breaker with a 3 foot pipe on the end , that and my 225 pounds standing on the end of it.
Flammable penetrating oil and a torch? Great combination. :lol: Just kidding jtanguay.The penetrating oil should help, but you might have to be patient and apply more today to let it soak overnight again.If that doesn't work, mix the aforementioned flammable penetrating oil and the torch and stand back. :twisted:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I did finally get it off after using about 4' of lever on the 3/4" drive socket. I had to jump fast on it not just bounce. Unfortunatly, the boot was separated where it fastens to the axle so I decided to just order a rebuilt unit. I still don't understand why the unit bearing will be damaged without the axle but maybe it will make sense when I take it all apart. As for the flamable penitrating lube, I do that all the time. It usually only smokes a lot. I just figured that heat would ruin the axle and bearings.
