Front Hub Removal Help?
How do I remove the front plastic hub on a 2003 f250 diesel? I have removed the lock ring but I can't seem to figure out how its removed. All I need to do is get behind the turn **** to grease it. I have the hubs that are "automatic" and "manual".

they are a real pain to get out. the best way i have found is to hit them with a big rubber malit (sp?) top and bottom and side to side and it will slowly walk its way out. the aluminium and the steel react and make corrosion in there that really gums stuff up.
hope that helps

Just Beat It
Hey I had same problem just grabed it with big chanel locks and pulled. Jus what are you tring to grease? I have the Manual hubs and they don't need grease. And the Bearings are sealed so no more problem there except for cost. My extended waranty company paid Ford around 1500 to change them cause they were seeping grease alittle.
