Hey guys this is my first posting here(or anywhere) but i have a problem.
My driver side 4x4 locking hub is stuck on the hub asembly and wont come off also i should note that is wont turn from auto to lock so that part is frozen also.It started making a load noise on that side and i have only been able to tear it down to that point.I am pretty sure the bearings are fried because there is alot of movement in the asembly.Any suggetions on how to proceed from here without actually tearing the hub up or damiging the spindle

Thx in advance

 

First make sure the large locking ring has been removed. Then lightly tap the sides of the hub with a soft faced hammer alternating sides while pulling directly away from the spindle.

Thx for the reply
I have tried that and more(I removed the ring) but it almost like its in a vacum because everytime i pull it sucks back on like it being pulled back. I dont know of anyother way to describe it than that -A Vaccum
