Help Me! Rear Wheel Hub Question
 
I can't get out my rear wheel hub on my 88 420sel, took my slide hammer to it, nothing. The bolt that mounts that to the axle is out, does anyone know if there are any other retaining bolts that are keeping this thing from coming out?

there is a large treaded internal retaining ring that requires a special spanner to remove, to get to the retaining ring the axle must be out, is the axle still installed?

I can pull the axle without a problem, is there any way I can remove the hub without this tool? Any ideas on where I could get one of these? Thanks for your quick reply.

is not likely a tool you will find locally

If you are handy you can make one. Here is a photo of my home made wrench. Total investment $8.50

I made my own special wrench for this slotted nut. I started with a 1 9/16" socket and did a little grinding to fit the nut. It took all of an hour using a small air driven abrasive cut-off wheel. I used the new nut from the bearing kit as a pattern while grinding to get a good fit. The long threaded rod goes through the hole with a plate and nut and is used to keep the wrench seated into the slotted nut.

Nice Work!
 
Well Done!

Reminds me of the Trailing Arm Bushing extractor I made to do the TABs on my 240 Volvo.

All Hail the McMaster Carr catalogue!
