RE: IML: Breaking Free '56 Rear Hubs

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I have never used heat or liquid wrench, but I have had to use a pretty big hammer. Leave the axle nut on as a safety. If you have the right tool and it is the right quality, you just have to keep banging on the "dog-bone". When it comes off it will make a loud bang.
