Can't Get My Tapered Axles Out, What Am I Doing Wrong?

I put the drum on backwards to use as a slide hammer and it just wont budge. Am I doing something wrong, is there more to remove than the cotter pin and nut? I put my purse down and pulled hard and then I used heat. I'm exhausted, what now?

 

Does the threaded part of the axle come off the part with the wheel studs? Or does it come out all together? I'm not clear on what comes out.

 

Trying to get my power lok out to replace the clutches.

 

If I take all the bolts out of the backing plate will the whole assembly slide out a couple inches?

 

Is there something in the power lok holding this in? I’m to the point where I’m beating the back of my drum with 2x4. Going to bend or break something.

 

Get a hub puller.

 

Will this incentive to build my flanged axle. Thanks guys, going to try and find a puller.

 

You need to own a monster puller like in Daryl's picture. Nothing less.

It is the badge of True Jeepers.

 

Up there with the lefty lugs?

 

Mine's homemade out of old scrap. It's no joke how hard some of them come off.

But having them locked on is better than the side effects of a loose hub.

 

This reminds me of the rear Subaru hub I just replaced on my wife’s outback. After the puller ripped the hub apart I had to beat it off and it took hours. Literally. Finally came off after I went to town with a punch from the back side pushing it out. There was nothing left to attach any puller or slide hammer to once the spindle ripped out.
