Ok how exactly do you go about removing the rear hub on a 96 240, i want to make sure i do it right before i go and break something and then have to spend more money to fix it..

Take off wheel
take off caliper
take off rotor
take off cotter pin for axle
take off rear bub nut (36mm)
get a piece of wood and lay it out the spindle, and hammer it until the axle moves enough to remove, slide it out
In back of the spindle with be (iirc) 4 17mm bolts, remove those, and hub comes off the spindle.

its very late, so if I miss any steps, sorry

Thanks i got it! heh man took forever that thing was really on there...

Are you guys saying you have to remove the four bolts on the axle side of the hubs? Or are we talking controll arm bolts here? Cause I got both mine off 3 days ago without touching the bolts on the spindle.
     I took mine off to have my bushing sleeves pressed out by a machine shop. They are a real bitch to get out. What are you working on?
