I got a 5 ft. Dutchman Cutter brushog I took the blades off and removed the hub nut but I CAN'T SEEM TO GET the hub off from the gear box spline. I put a strong back across it and bolted it thru the blade holes and put a porta power in there and lubricant on the spline. I have a lot of pressure on it and still won't move. Got any ideas?

1. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Insert a steel rod into the brake rotor to prevent the rotor from turning and loosen the axle wheel hub nut. Discard the nut.
4. Remove the ball joint-to-front wheel knuckle retaining nut. Drive the bolt out of the front wheel knuckle using a punch and hammer.
5. Remove the front brake anti-lock sensor and position it out of the way.
6. Separate the ball joint from the front wheel knuckle using a prybar. Position the end of the prybar outside of the bushing pocket to avoid damage to the bushing.

Use care to prevent damage to the front wheel driveshaft joint boot.

1. Remove the stabilizer bar link at the front stabilizer bar.

Make sure the CV-joint puller does not contact the transaxle shaft speed sensor. Damage to the sensor will result.

1. Install a CV-Joint Puller (T86P-3514-A1) or equivalent between the inboard CV-joint and the transaxle case.
2. Install a CV-Joint Extension (T86P-3514-A2) or equivalent into the puller and hand-tighten.
3. Using an impact slide hammer, remove the driveshaft from the transaxle.

Do not allow the front wheel driveshaft and joint to hang unsupported. Damage to the front wheel driveshaft joint may result. Do not wrap wire around the front wheel driveshaft joint boot. Damage to the boot may result.

1. Support the end of the driveshaft and joint assembly by suspending it from the chassis using a length of wire.

Never use a hammer to separate the outboard front wheel driveshaft joint from the wheel hub. Damage to the outboard front wheel driveshaft joint threads and internal components may result.

1. Separate the outboard front wheel driveshaft joint from the wheel hub using a Front Hub Remover/Replacer (T81P-1104-C) or equivalent. Make sure the hub remover adapter is fully threaded onto the hub stud.

Do not move the vehicle without the outboard CV-joint properly installed, as damage to the bearing may occur.

1. Remove the front wheel driveshaft and joint assembly from the vehicle.

To install:
Do not reuse the retainer circlip. A new circlip must be installed each time the inboard CV-joint stub shaft is installed into the transaxle differential.

1. Install a new retainer circlip on the inboard CV-joint stub shaft by starting one end in the groove and working the retainer circlip over the inboard shaft housing end and into the groove. This will avoid overexpanding the circlip.

A non-metallic mallet may be used to aid in seating the retainer circlip into the differential side gear groove. If a mallet is necessary, tap only on the outboard CV-joint stub shaft.

1. Carefully align the splines of the inboard CV-joint stub shaft housing with the splines in the differential. Exerting some force, push the inboard CV-joint stub shaft housing into the differential until the retainer circlip is felt to seat in the differential side gear. Use care to prevent damage to the inboard CV-joint stub shaft and transaxle seal.
2. Carefully align the splines of the outboard front wheel driveshaft joint with the splines in the wheel hub, and push the shaft into the wheel hub as far as possible.
3. Temporarily fasten the front disc brake rotor to the wheel hub with washers and two lug nuts. Insert a steel rod into the front disc brake rotor and rotate clockwise to contact the front wheel knuckle, to prevent the front disc brake rotor from turning during front wheel driveshaft and joint installation.

A new front axle wheel hub retaining nut must be installed.

1. Manually thread the front axle wheel hub retaining nut onto the outboard CV-joint stub shaft housing as far as possible.

A new bolt and nut must be used to connect the front suspension arm to the knuckle.

1. Connect the front suspension lower arm to the front wheel knuckle. Tighten the nut and bolt to 40-55 ft. lbs. (54-74 Nm).
2. Install the front brake anti-lock sensor.
3. Connect the front stabilizer bar link and tighten to 35-45 ft. lbs. (47-65 Nm).

Do not use power or impact tools to tighten the hub nut.

1. Tighten the front axle wheel hub retaining nut to 157-212 ft. lbs. (213-287 Nm).
2. Install the front wheels and lower the vehicle.
3. Using the recommended type of fluid, fill the transaxle to the proper level.

Hi Douglas, I'm glad to help. My first suggestion is to get to complete shaft. This way you want have any problems later on. It's not that much more expensive and you'll be glad you did. Below is the procedure for replacing them.

Next post is for axles.

I'm guessing you're talking about the front wheel bearings?

The wheel bearings are a sealed unit which has the hub pressed into it.

You first have to remove the brake caliper and rotor.

If you turn the wheels all the way to one side and look behind the knuckle, you will see three bolt heads (bolts going into the hub). I think they're 15mm or something close to that.

Remove the three bolts and hammer the hub out of the knuckle.

Assemble in reverse order.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies.
3. Remove the splash shield, if equipped.
4. Drain the transaxle.
5. Raise the staked portion of the hub locknut with a hammer and chisel. Lock the hub by applying the brakes and loosen the nut.
6. Separate the stabilizer bar from the lower control arm.
7. Remove the cotter pin and nut from the tie rod end ball stud.
8. Remove the tie rod end from the knuckle, using a suitable tool.
9. Remove the lower ball joint pinch bolt and nut.
10. Separate the ball joint from the knuckle, using a prybar on the control arm.
11. Position a prybar between the inner CV-joint and transaxle case. Carefully pry the halfshaft from the transaxle being careful not damage the oil seal. If equipped with a right side intermediate shaft, insert the prybar between the halfshaft and intermediate shaft and tap on the bar to uncouple them.
12. Remove the hub locknut and discard.
13. Pull outward on the hub/knuckle assembly, push the outer CV-joint stub shaft through the hub, and remove the halfshaft. If the halfshaft is stuck in the hub, install the old hub nut to protect the stub shaft threads. Tap on the nut, using only a soft mallet, to remove the halfshaft.
    NOTE Install Differential Side Gear holder K49A-4208-AT, into the transaxle after removing the halfshaft, to keep the differential side gear in position. If the gear becomes out of position the differential may have to be removed to realign the gear.
    
14. Remove the intermediate shaft, if necessary, by removing the support bearing bolts and pulling the shaft from the transaxle.
    
    Fig. Exploded view of the halfshafts and related components
    

To install:

Fig. Support bearing bolt tightening sequence

1. Install a new circlip on the end of the intermediate shaft,
   1. 1.5L, 1.6L (VIN 5), 1.8L install the circlip with the end gap facing upward.
   2. 1.6L (VIN 3), 2.0L, 2.4L and 2.7L install the circlip with end gap facing downward.
   
   
2. Install the intermediate shaft in the transaxle, being careful not to damage the oil seals.
3. Install the support bearing bolts and tighten, in sequence, to 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm).
4. Install a new circlip on the end of the halfshaft, with the end gap facing upward.
5. Install the halfshaft into the transaxle, being careful not to damage the oil seal.
6. Install the halfshaft into the intermediate shaft, if equipped.
7. Install the other end of the halfshaft through the hub. Loosely install a new locknut.
8. Install the lower ball joint into the knuckle.
9. Install the pinch bolt and nut and tighten to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
10. Install the tie rod end to the steering knuckle and tighten the nut to 42 ft. lbs. (57 Nm). Install a new cotter pin. Tighten the nut, if necessary, to align the ball stud hole with the nut castellation.
11. Install the stabilizer bar to the lower control arm.
12. Install the splash shield and the wheel and tire assemblies.
13. Lock the hub with the brakes. Tighten the new hub nut to 155-206 ft. lbs. (214-279 Nm). After tightening, stake the locknut using a hammer and dull bladed chisel.
14. Fill the transaxle with the proper type and quantity of fluid.

i assume you removed the nut that holds the spline shaft on the hub? try wd40 and put the nut back on a few turns and beat it with a hammer
