ok, so im doing my 5 lug swap in the rear tommarrow.
just a quick overview. once all brake parts have been pulled clear, remove the 36mm axle nut, and is the hub supposed to slide (not easily) out.?
no other pins or anything holding it in place?

i was told i could get a hub puller at autozone, but both by my house said they have no such thing. i'm going down the street to advanced auto parts tommarrow and see if they have one.
do i really need it? or can i bang on them hard, and try and pull em off some other way?
thanx in advance

Yes. After you remove the four (4) 19mm bolts in the back of the upright.

^^like he said, 4 19mm behind the uproght. they are hard to get to with a regular rachet or wrench. i have a craftsman gear rachet(really shallow sockets) and its cake, the axle has indentations on it, so just turn it until they line up with the bolt you are removing. the wheel bearing may be stuck on there pretty good, just use a screw driver or chisle and tap it with a hammer to break the seal.
