My old shop lead bet me $20 I couldn't pull a hub without heat, and the torch lost
Back when I was green at a shop off Canal Street, my lead, Marcus, bet me $20 that any hub on a Midwest car needs heat or it won't break loose. I took that bet on a 2011 Civic, soaked the knuckle in PB Blaster the night before, and hit it with a 4 pound slide hammer. It popped in maybe 90 seconds, no torch, no drama. Marcus paid up but made me buy the crew coffee with it, which felt fair. Two weeks later the same trick got me a rusted hub off a Silverado that the torch guys had already smoked. I still keep PB Blaster in my box because of that bet. What is your go-to when a hub just laughs at a slide hammer?
