    How do I get the rear hubs off? I undid the three or four bolts through holes but its still on there solid as a rock! I need to put longer wheel studs on (they are too long to do without taking it off).

    The answer to all of life's problems, the BFH.

    It's just rusted in there.

    I wedged a chisel in behind the backing plate with a BFH, tried banging on the backing plate, the thing is solid as a rock.

    I just looked it up to make sure I wasn't missing a step, and it's pretty straight forward. Remove the caliper with bracket, remove the rotor, disconnect the wheel speed sensor, remove the 4 bolts, and pull the hub out. Has to be rust, gotta love midwest winters.

    You might just try a large 3-jaw gear-puller. That's how I got my front one off the very first time I did a hub change.
