Treading on his thread. Final story right?
Advice - wise men don't need it, fools don't heed it. I'll keep quiet.

Thanks in advance
Aaron

See this thread running concurrent with your question.

BTW, just FYI it's "axle", not axel.

I always like how this one topic goes round and round. Maybe Big Kev should setup it's own link, a lot of good information here and what ever works for you without destroying your car the better.
I myself got one hub off by beating on a J.C. Whitney hub puller, but still working on the other side.
