I have an 02 grandprix and im trying to get my hub assembly off but cant release it from the axle bolt. Everywhere I looked online says to beat it out with a hammer but I cant seem to get it out. What do you suggest?

Hello,

Wheel hubs can sometimes be difficult to take off as it can be seized on the shaft.
Try using a hub puller tool to get the hub off (see picture below).
This tool will go over the lug studs and you will be able to secure it with the lug nuts then turn the center shaft to push against the CV axle, as you turn the bolt. This will press against the axle and you will be able to remove the hub.

Here is a helpful video:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
