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.
