 My father said he loosened old Ford axle nuts (1930/1940s era, they had th=
e same design) by loosening the nut a few turns (put the cotter pin back in=
), then drive the car making several turns, this would pop the hub loose. A=
fter a few turns, check to see if the hub is loose so you don't mess up the=
 axle key slot, I never tried this.

      Pulling the hubs is necessary. Everyone has had different

      Likewise getting the axles out of the rear tubes. I had written
      about it in the "Tiger 101" article at Tigers United.
