My son's 98 4Runner was hit on the driver's wheel yesterday, shearing the bolts on the lower ball joint plate and bending the spindle. I have the spindle off and have removed the inner seal from the back of the spindle. I am now stuck as to how I best remove the hub from the spindle? Press or slide hammer or am I missing something? This is our first 3rd Gen and is quite different from our 2nd Gens. The truck has ABS and I don't want to damage the ring. Any advice is appreciated...I do not have the FSM, but may end up ordering one to come with the new spindle/bearings/seals.

Thanks in advance.
 
Here you go, if you need any other pages I should have them.
The manual is for a 2002 but it should be the same. :wrench:

That's the ticket! Unfortunately, I have no press. Had to farm the job out, but the diagrams are going with the mechanic.

Thanks again!
