I cleaned out the hub, used a Dremel tool with sandpaper on a drum. There is
no Circlip.
Sprayed in MaxBlaster.

I used my impact gun on the bolt, 120 PSI . . . . . didnt even budge.
I heated the outside with my acetyline torch . . more impact gun . .
.nothing.
The hub bearing extractor/installer is the B-90 master kit. You can see the
tool on their home page.

I'm ready to take the strut out and take it to a shop and have it pressed
out. Maybe press them in also. Will look in the manual and see how its done.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to take out the ABS sensor without
damaging it. Whats the trick?
