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.
