please help me. =*(

 

time to get a torch and heat that beast up, youll need to replace the front seal though.

thunderracing sells new hubs for 85$ - 50 after the core return, so 35 bucks.

edit: but i dont know if they will take a broken hub as a core.

 

i've got a new hub. but even if i heat it up, how do i get it off? use the hub puller on just the 2 ears?

 

Were you using the correct procedure when trying to remove it?

Weld the ear back on and try again.

 

Yes and No. I had the bolt in the center, but once it hit the bolt the ear popped off. I wasn't using air tools or anything, I wouldn't think just a wrench would pop iron like that. I have an idea, I'm going to a machine shop tomorrow. If anyone has any bright ideas, help me out here.

The reason the pulley is laying on the balancer is I was trying to think of ways to get the hub off with only two ears. I went and pulled a different hub off, a different LT1 and it came right off. I dunno, Caming this car is turning into quite the adventure.

 

A 4 and a half inch grinder,a cutoff wheel and a steady hand would make quick work of that!!! Or equivilent

 

Time for a big focking hammer.

When i couldnt get a puller to work, i took a 3 foot iron bar and put in behind an ear of the hub, and infront of the sway bar. Then had a friend pull on the top of the bar, while i tapped the ears of the hub tward me with the hammer. Slow but sure it came off.

 

It amazes me you didn't break an ear off that bitch then. Cus my ear popped right off.

 

Here's my bright idea. It's a really cheesy "photoshop" but who cares. The holes will be threaded and I can just use my puller again, if it doesn't work onto the new ideas. Tell me if anyone see's a problem with this. The horseshoe type thing will go behind it and kinda replace the 3rd ear and hopefully pull it off.

A two jaw hook puller will work.Rent one from Auto Zone.If it has moved,should be a piece of cake.It may take a 3 jaw to get hold of it.

 

I thought of that, but what is it gonna hook to?

 

Grab behind the ear's,or what's left .

 

Behind the 3rd ear, there's nothing left.

 

File or grind you a flat on the back of the broken ear to hook the puller on,or use a 2 jaw.

 

I'm looking at the two crank hubs I have, is there a difference between the Caprice LT1 hub and the F-Body LT1 hub. They're shaped slightly different, but I can't imagine them being any different.
