Have the old hub assembly off, now to try and get the rest of the old bolt out. I've tried penetrating oils, heat, big hammers and punches. I'm about to set the damn thing on fire. At this rate, I don't think I'm gonna make it tomorrow.

Hoping to get an air hammer in the morning to get it forced out. If not I need to start tracking down a knuckle

The other two bolt were fine. Just the ends of the threads that are exposed are pretty rusty. The one I'm having trouble with is seized in pretty bad. The head broke off halfway in the knuckle.

You probably thought of it already but it's drilling and taping an option?

I've got the knuckle off. It's dulling carbide hardened drill bits. Gonna see if I can get it pressed out. I'm not gonna be able to make it today

I'm getting mine together but it's still 2 hours for me to get up there. But I'm making a valiant effort to get there
