Take a big hammer and pound the wheel studs out from the outside inward then you can seperate the hub and rotor. hit them hard. One big hit does less damage than many lite hits

I take the same big hammer and set the hub/rotor on the back of the rotor with the outside (where the lock out goes) of the hub facing up. Then take a block of wood and place it across the hub and hit it HARD with the hammer. It will drive the hub down and out of the rotor. If the seal side of the hub hits your bench then block it up so it has room to get driven down.

Putting them back together wasnt too bad. But I do have one question, How tight should the hub nut be? The first one puts the load on the bearing and the second just holds that lock washer in right? I dont want to get them too tight but I dont want them too lose either. BTW, Thanks for those diagrams Tim!

I didn't watch but it was on the news. There was a big pile up mid race so they ended it early. Matt Kenseth won it.

The pile had nothing to do with why they ended it. They ended the race becuase of the rain.

And just for the record i don't think Jr. did anything wrong becuase he beat vickers to the yellow line, then vickers ran Jr below the line and Jr unintentionally hit the rear bumper of vickers car. if it were intentional i think Jr would have hit him farther up near the rear tire.

Torque the inner nut to 50 ft/lbs while rotating the disc and then back it off 90*

The lock nut can be flipped over to get the pin on the inner nut to line up with the holes

Outer nut gets torqued to 160-205 ft/lbs
