Hajji, Thank you for getting back to me. I spent almost as much time trying to find a die as i did disassembling the unit. I figured I had nothing more to lose so I added the pipe to the end of my ratchet and cranked it on. Once I got past the rough spot, it went on easily. I just got lucky. The project took a total of about 6 hours but, I'm sure I could do it in half the time now that i know what to look for. It was still worth the time, a local mechanic quoted me $1,300. I spent just about $150 so, I think it was worth the effort. I got stuck at a few spots but, the advise from the forum got me through. Basically everything was rusted and bonded and nothing came off easy. I used the screw suggestion to get the rotor off. Gear puller popped the axle in just a few turns. (when the backing plate didn't come off I thought it didn't work but, in hind site, It did work. I was pounding with the hammer for no reason.) Pry bar popped the backing plate right off once i figured out where to place it. Reassembly went well except for my screwed up thread incident. Thank you all for your help. I hope to return the favor one day.

Help!!! First I need to admit I screwed up. I forced the axle nut off. it was hard to turn off but I cranked it off. I must mot have gotten the divet all the way out and i screwed up the threads. Any advice would be appreciated.
