My rear hubs are shot, we've got the hubs to put on there. I got the old hub off, but the race seems to be seized to the axle. I've cleaned it with brake cleaner and sprayed WD-40 (it was all i had), and the thing ain't budging.

Any suggestions? Anybody have any experiance with this before?

exactly what he said but there is a catch. sometimes the inner race stays behind. that's when you ahve to use a cut off tools cut the race half walf way through use a air hammer with chisel bit hit it in the center of the cut. and it will crack the sleeve then remove that and install new
