89 F-150 hubs

[obxbronco]

well this weekend i started changing my rotors and brakes on my 89 f150. You have to take the hub off to take the rotor off. that's where the fun started. i can't get the bolts/screws out of the hub housing!:banghead:
I tried everything but cutting them out! how do i get them out?

[johnpaulgolf]

pb blaster and a couple hour anger management break...and then try, try, try again hopefully they won't break...put um back together with anti-sieze

Probably didn't help...but taking a break always seems to help me

i soaked in them in pb overnight. and took a long break, i'll try again tonight maybe.

well still no go. and it's an odd size, 9/64

You needing to remove the allen bolts for the hub? Have you tried taking a punch that will fit down in side the head and giving them a good whack? Some times a good jar will loosen them up.

[obxbronco]

havn't tried that. i'll give it a try!

well figured out what was wrong, somebody really coated them with loctite. i had to drill the heads off.

i swear if i knew who worked on this thing before my dad got it, i would smack them. they put somethin like loctight on the inner wheel bearing seal. luckily local auto parts store had more.

I know the feeling. Cleaning up PO's crap work (not yo9ur dad - whoever did the locktite) is the majority of the PITA on most jobs. Good Luck getting it done.
