My sister spun out and hit a curb with her 02 malibu and bent the right rear wheel. Swapped it out and the wheel still wobbles. Come to find out the hub is bent? (don't ask how it can bent and not break, But it is). I got the 4 bolt's out of the hub, But it need's to b pulled off the spindal. I can't simply pry it off. I was wondering if a guy is to rig up a slide hammer to pull it off. Autozone,.com doesn't show any thing more than to unbolt it. Tks Scott

After only a couple of years they can rust on there tight. Slide hammer should work, I usually just hit it with a good hammer and convince it to come off after the bolts are out. Dont forget to sand off the mating surface so the new one sits on nice. Aside from that, steering and suspension parts are made to bend before they break so after a hit you can still limp out of traffic and get off the road instead of sit there in danger with a wheel off.

Tks Snshddog. I'd forgotten about the axle attachment for my slide hammer. I'll pull it now and get the replacement. C-Ya Scott
