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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
