I feel bad that I am reading this so late. After seeing what you were trying to accomplish with the hubs the answer is using an air chisel. If I remember correctly the car came from Chicago, right? The salt and road debris corroded the hubs and the spindle and that is what prevented you from getting them apart. I had the same issue as I did an ISF brake conversion to my IS. In order to make this happen I had to get ISF hubs to make the calipers line up correctly with the rotors etc. I had the same trouble removing the hubs due to similar weather conditions and how they play havoc on the cars.
Looks great. My wife and I are coming back to Hawaii at the end of the summer and I cant wait to see all the nice cars.

Thanks Adam how is the 600 headlight conversion coming along.
Lol the modding game is never over. But now that i have these installed im excited that i can run some aggressive wheels.
You know you can drive the car anytime you want
Thanks and ill get the pics you wanted to you soon.
lol like i said this was a mod i wasnt ready for but needed.
Thanks Brian. Ship your car to Hawaii and have samson work on it lol.
hahaha
Thank you. I cant wait to see the wheels and kit mounted on your car.
Thanks for the info and help. The knuckles were a small sacrifice in order to get the hubs out. The hubs brand new are almost $500 where as the knuckles are about half that price. But i had the new knuckles from T Demand so its not a big deal. When you come to Hawaii just go to Samsons shop and you will nice cars there daily.
