Hey guys im in the middle of swapping out my driverside axle but the inner hub wont come out!!
I first tried pulling the thing out and it popped off the boot, so i rented a pitman arm puller, wedged it in and hit with hammer to no avail!!
so how do i get this dang thing out?!?!?

You should be fine. Most of the time I use a hammer and a crow bar to pop it out.

make sure you torque it correctly, too tight will crush bearings.

what?
the axle nut gets like 160+ ft lbs of torque.
your not crushing bearings, or anything else for that matter.
lol

OP, make sure the axle didnt pop back out.
