The center bolt in the center of the hub is easy to remove following the steps. You need someone to step on the brakes while you use a breaker bar to unscrew it.

But .... but ... but ... the 4 bolts that holds the hub assembly to the drive axle is truly a pain to remove --- the axle is in the way --- the reason being this: all 4 bolts are screwed in from the inside out.

TiS instructions are not realistic. I think we need to remove the rest of the suspension pieces to have enough room to work out those damn 4 bolts.

I got one unscrewed but it cannot come out because it's blocked by the strut bellow. I don't want to accidentally tear the damn bellow.

Any suggestions and help would be great.
What did you use to remove the center bolt on the hub???
