Im trying to get the 12mm bolts on the hub off, they are on there fucking solid. Any comments on how to get them off? I'm blasting them with PB Blaster right now.



Everything came apart just fine with PB Blaster (or similar) and either a long handle extension (hydraulic jack handle over the rachet handle) or a 1/2" impact wrench.

Just remember "Righty-tighty/Lefty-loosie"  ;D   before hitting a bolt with the impact wrench.

If the hub bolts are on from the factory, there is loc-tite
on them and they will be tough to get off, I would suggest
you remove the outer hub cover with a allen wrench, and
then you can get straight on to the hub bolts with a socket
and a ratchet, or use a 3/8" impact if you can find sombody
with one, 1/2" might work if hte extension and socket will
fit right on the socket, and use a 6 point socket, you might
have to use a chrome socket if the fit is too close, the black
impact sockets are kind of thick, unless you buy Snap-on
or Mac etc. tools, you could use a wrench (6point) and an
extension, but you risk breaking your knuckles

Good Luck
