Need some help. Trying to remove right rear hub on JD STX30. Appears to have never been off in 15-20 years. It is seized onto the shaft and key - doesn't budge after removing the snap ring with pliers. I have had it soak in PB blaster and alternating with heat from propane and hammering on the hub to try to break it loose and I am starting to bend the rim from so much "persuasion".....any advice?
Is there a way to disassemble the rear end to take the entire axle to a shop for them to press it off or something? Any options I can do?
If I take it to a tire shop are they going to just keep heating and hammering like I am?
Thanks in advance - Lowell
