be careful with the torch....

 

I just did two of these puppies... keep hittin it with a hammer and it WILL come apart. there are the three bolts on the back of the assembly and once these are of there is nothing holding it on,, its just froze, mild slams with a moderate size hammer should knock it loose

 

i just did the driver side hub on my '03 1500, thing was seized really bad.... took some penetrating oil and about 1/2 hour with a deadblow hammer and chisel. what a pain in the ***!

 

Did mine a couple of weeks ago on my 2500. Ended up splitting the bearing hubs apart and cutting the top ball joint to drop the knuckle and pound the back portion of the bearing hub out---the4n it was on to the upper and lower ball joints, and finally, the axle u-joints, which is what I was going for in the first place---the only thing left is the tie rod ends and drag link.

LOTS OF NEVER SEIZE UNDER THERE NOW!!!!

GOOD LUCK, I HOPE IT GOES BETTER FOR YOU THAN IT DID ME
