Hub assembly and rear axle removal TR250

[Don Malling <dmallin@attglobal.net>]

The trailing arm is on the workbench and everything has been removed 
except the backing plate and the Hub Assembly. The 6 nyloc nuts holding 
the Hub assembly to the trailing arm came off easily with a 1/4" 
ratchet, and none of the studs to the trailing arm came loose. 
Everything looks good.

Bentley says just to remove the Hub assembly and axle, but it doesn't 
want to come free. I've tapped lightly on the backing plate but nothing 
moves.

What is the secret?

Thanks,

Don Malling
