Hello, I need to remove the rear wheel hubs to replace the rusted-to-dust brake splash/backplates so that I can get the handbrake shoes fixed in place for MOT.
Unfortunately the wheel hub bolts are stuck, the heads are rusted and access is very poor at the back. Are there any good tricks to remove these bolts? I've got new ones and would even buy new hubs if necessary.
Alternatively I was thinking about dropping the whole rear axle to get good access to the hub bolts.
Can anyone help me with the procedure to drop the axle please?
Thanks for your help!
