Dodge Repair: 1999 durango wheel hub removal, wheel hub, cotter pin


Question
I am unable to remove the wheel hub assembly from the spindle. Front brakes are not ABS. I have been beating on the triangular flange, but it will not budge. The axle spindle moves freely inside the hub. All bolts, brakes, discs, ect. have been removed. This is a 4x4 SLT front drivers side. Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks,Ang
