Hey Guys,
So I recently tried to remove the WARN locker hubs to repack them. The larger bolts attaching the hub to the wheel came off fine, but when i tried to unscrew the smaller allen bolts attaching the cap end, i found them to be seized up with rust. I sprayed it with PB Blaster, but I stripped one of the bolts trying to get them out.
Any suggestion on what you think i should do? I'd prefer not to drill out the bolts and have to retap the holes.
Thanks!
Josh
