Rear hub assembly stuck to INNER break housing!
I'm sorry if this is a repeat post but I saw a lot of suggestions about removing a stuck OUTER break housing from the hub assembly with a break puller but nothing on removing the inner. Does any one have experience with that?
I was able to remove the outer break housing with a hub puller. Now looking at the inner it is very stuck but I don't see any little holes or anything where you could get a hub puller to work.
The car has 220k on it and I don't want to give up on it now!!
I've attached a picture so you can see where I am with it.
picture also here. not sure if attachment worked: https://plus.google.com/+RichardKean...ts/ebWAvfMx6se
Thanks in advance!

Are you replacing hubs? If so, I'd spray some penetrating oil on the back side and let it soak and then either tap the center of the hub a time or two with a decent sized hammer or thread in one or two of the bolts from the backside in five or six turns and tap the bolt's head with a hammer.
You have yanked the four hub bolts from the back already, correct?

Yeah, remove the 4 bolts and spray the spacer good with some PB Blaster and let it soak. Keep tapping lightly with small hammer till the spacer comes loose.
