I'm trying to replace the wheel hub on my 2001 Ram 1500. I have the wheel nut and 3 bolts in the back off. I still can't pull this thing off. I've sprayed it with penetrating oil, and tried use the rear bolts to tap it out. Still no luck. Does anyone have any tips to get this thing off?

Thanks in advance!

Big hammer.

 

Get an impact extension and wedge it between the axle tube and one of the three bolts that are all about half way threaded in.

Get in and tune the steering wheel. Bam.

Assuming you have truck safely jacked up in the air.

 

+1 on hambone's way it's by far the easiest and won't damage the heat shield.
