I don't know if anyone has posted this before but this method worked great for me, if you are going to replace the axle stubs then weld a chain about 5 feet long to the end of the stub and weld the other end to a long cheater bar or pipe apr 5 feet long. Have one person yank and pull on the bar while another hammers around the circumference of the stub. This method works like a charm the key being the hammering on the stub. Hope this helps someone out.

 

Hahaha nice dude! I just replaced mine on the pas side. I couldnt get it loose at all so i elected to take the cover off and pound it out with a long punch...
