I went out this morning and tried heating the U bolts as was suggested, no go. Then I heated the hub. I got them hot enough that the infra red thermometer just said Hi, I know it was over 550 because one of the ones I did earlier read that much. I let it cool while I heated the other side and then heated them again. I sprayed them with a diesel fuel /ATF mix and went to town for some errands and when I got home, I heated them 2 more times. They are soaking in loose juice now, I'll give them another shot before bed and see what tomorrow brings. There is no room to get a hydraulic jack under the bolt head as someone suggested. There isn't enough room to get a good swing at them with a hammer. I had the rims off and turned them around, it may be easier to take the rims and tires off to get them out on the open. I took the air chisel with a punch end on it and worked on the side of the hub to try to get some vibration on them to help break the rust. After the first heating, I drove it out and did donuts in the driveway while hitting the brakes, but with all of the rain, I just tore up the driveway. Glennster suggested an air chisel working on the bolts, but all of my chisels a wide enough I think they would just make the holes bigger. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
