Hey guys

Was about to finish removing the front hubs today for a 5 stud conversion but i came across a problem. The 4 stud hubs which have been on my car for over 17 years aren't budging. I've tried hammering it out (Don't care if the thread gets stuffed). Does anyone know of a special trick/procedure to get them out? Is there a tool i can purchase which will make it easier?

Cheers

they should just slide off once the nut has been undone, Are we talking the front hubs on a 4wd or Rwd. 4wd are pressed in IIRC and the fronts just slide off with the Rwd.

EDIT!!

For some reason i thought you were talking the front hubs, The rear hubs are going to be tight and will probably need to be pressed out.

were talking about the front 4 stud hubs on a rwd.. its weird ive taken the rotor off and undone the rear 32mm bolt which was holding the hub in place. It won't budge for some reasons. It hasn't been touched since it was manufactured obviously. I tried hitting it out and putting the rotor on it to give it some leverage whilst pulling.. But wouldn't move any idea?

cheers for the help

yeah got the hubs off today ended up buying a gear puller from supercheap and put it on the back of the hub. It put heaps of pressure on it and released it.

cheers for the help

gear puller !!!! slide hammer ?

cheers for the advice yeah have the gear puller a go and it was successful

Spray a shitload of degreaser and try. If that doesn't work you might have to invest into a gear puller. You can get cheap ones :D

cheers for the advice i ended up using degreaser and wd 40

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
