Make your own penetrating oil - that's better than KROIL?




atf / acetone mix!

"The April/May 2007 edition of Machinist's Workshop did a test of

> Kano Kroil ........ 106 pounds .. $0.75
> ATF-Acetone mix.. 53 pounds .. $0.10

interesting

ATF/Acetone works great. Only thing is that you have to use it immediately after mixing. It looses it's effectiveness pretty quickly. Can't be stored.

Yep atf/acetone is a good one that's widely know and shared. Just atf alone is ok.

I tried a torch. (About four times) I had a good quality puller. I suspect that the axle/hub had striped alittle and then rusted together. Sometimes you just got to blast.

had an hour to kill at work this morning
cut off the spring retaining pins
took screw driver and made sure pads were loose
got a new bottle of gas and puller
heated it up and pulled .. and pulled ... beat it with BFH
nothing
reheated it poured cold water on it
pulled ... hammered it
nothing
called on the great spirit in the sky for lighting
nothing

if i take the axle bolts off can i slide the whole thing out ?

#5 Your hub is now stripped out! It may have fallen off the cart already!

#6 Install new ausco hub and enjoy your cart!

LOL!

my luck the other side will strip

The last time I did one on a txt I removed the c-clip on the wheel bearing and pulled the axle shaft and hub assembly out as one piece. I then put it in a tristand pipe vise and with a can of Kroil I was able to beat the hub off with a 3 pound hammer.

If you are trashing it anyway drill a bunch of holes into the hub around the shaft and fill with your choice of penetrating oil.

Is it off yet!?
