Re: F#%$^%#$^ Cone washers on yota hubs
there is a set of puller pliers that work decently on them, however i always have had good luck with a socket and pop it with a hammer.
do it a few times to break them loose, then take a pick and pull them out.

Do you put the socket on the cone itself? I was told a socket slightly bigger and pop it with a BFH, it didn't work. These things are a sumbitch.

Re: F#%$^%#$^ Cone washers on yota hubs
I've always had good luck with taking a dead blow rubber mallet to each side of the hub body. Then taking a pair of vise grips to the cone washers and pull them out with some twisting. You'll need to use minimal pressure with the vise grips cause if you pinch the washer too hard it will just catch on the threads and not move.

You could also try smacking the stud that the cone washer is wrapped around. That has worked for me in the past. I guess the vibration of smacking the stud breaks the cone washer free. Just make sure that you are accurate with your "smacking".

Re: F#%$^%#$^ Cone washers on yota hubs
I am so over these fucking things....i have tried every trick and these cones will not budge... I am about to chisel them out and buy new ones.
I don't think they have ever been removed...

haha, don't give up! They are not that bad, really. Once you get the hub knocked loose a tad bit.. they all come out rather easily. Plus I think the dealer gets like $2/each for the cone washers.
If you mess a few of them up.. I have a couple extras I can send you.. just let me know.
