Sheriff, what did you shove in the stub shaft to keep it from moving? I broke 3 solid steel chizels trying to get mine off a few months ago. I just said "**** it" and still have a bad U-joint in there. I couldnt get the damn thing off for anything.

I have some Aero-Kroil at the apartments that I'm gonna rob to get this ****ker off. I couldnt even budge it with an impact wrench!

 

IIRC, some have left hand threads, maybe thats 2wd,or 1 year model, not sure don't remember. Either way, after all this time, do you think it would be possible to put the info about your truck in your sig?

 

You have stock rims, so you can remove the wheel and take the center cap out. Put the wheel back on and give it a go.

 

If you're talking about me, I'll keep the quirky saying, thermal camera sig pic, and legal notice.

I too remember reading about left hand threads in the Haynes manual, but I tried it both ways and that bastard wouldnt budge.

 

I stuck a socket extension through the rotor and against the caliper mount. I may just take it to my buddy's shop and pay for this one. Shouldn't be too much if I give him the joints.

 

You need a real good impact, electric or air. Switch it back and forth, as in tighten/loosen. It will come loose.

 

This thread makes me feel like a dumbass. I thought about trying most of the ideas posted here, but never did them.

 

PurplDodge, figure it out you'll get it.

Mudshack, take it and have some one do the work.

 

Oh, I've got it figured. Doing it is a different story.

 

I think it's called a crows foot. It's a pry bar that tapers down to a point on the end that is is the heat vanes on the rotor. It was the rotor, not the stub shaft. That's why the caliper mounting bracket is still on in the picture.

To see if you have reverse threads you just have to look at them. If they slant away from you toward the right side of the stub shaft (threads on the right will be further away than the left side) when you're looking at the end then they're right hand threads. If they slant further away toward the left then they're reverse threads.
