remove your rear tailshaft, put the nuts back on the axle studs on the front loosely leave them at least a full turn off the cone washers) and take it for a drive in front wheel drive. a 10 minute tour will have them all loose.\

That is truly a novel idea, Brian :cool: I'll try that one of these days on a landcruiser that hasn't had its drive flanges removed since it left Japan 15 years ago.

Cheers,
Dave

You should use a brass drift if your going to hit the studs. A short, focused, very hard wack should get them off (like Mr Miyagi with the nail into wood), you need to shock them out of place. Hitting the side of the hub will just dent it, but this will also work...
