I have a 1996 T&C 3.3 with a groaning rear right hub bearing. I removed the ABS sensor & the 4 bolts holding it to the brake assembly with the drum off. I pounded with 2 hamers, and a slide hammer & soaked both sides in liquid wrench. I also pounded the corner downword with a serious chisle trying to at least clock it, but that thing wont move. Does anyone have any tricks for loosening this thing? It is FWD btw.

 

Hi , Just a thought !! Release your emergancy brake an it will fall off ! I ran into this a few months ago with my sonin law . My thoughts Bud

 

you can try intalling the hub bolts almost all the way and then hitting the end of the bolt.

 

Those are great thoughts, and I did try those. I thought in retrospect I may have done well to leave the bolts for the hub all the way off, re-mount the wheel then lower the jack to see if the body weight would have pulled it out of the socket. However, I found a place in town that does axles work only - and very well I might add - and they will do it for $35 with my hub. Well worth it since I ended up with tennis elbow after 4 hours of hammer pounding!
