Is there a special tool, or a reasonable way to remove the split/cone washers on the solid axle hubs and knuckles. I usually end up beating things around with a large hammer, and a very small screwdriver. (not a good match) Maybe Toyota has a special tool, or Snap-On? Has anyone invented one they would like to share?

heat them up owith a torch then hit the side of them or the flange and they will pop like pop corn

Hit the studs with a brass bar. After a couple hits they'll come right off.

Some ideas:

And note that I have never run into one technique that will work with every single cone washer. All depends on what it holding it tight. So if you try one technique and get say 4 of the washer off, but 2 won't budge. Try something else on them. I have had some that literally fly off with the slightest tap of a hammer and others that are stuck on the stud and no amount of hammering will make them move.

Thank You, And I think the "anti-sieze" will help.

Anyone ever use a toy hub puller like the ones hendrix motorsports used to sell?

I have taken off hundreds of cone washers and it is pretty easy.

Patience and know how. Not everything in life requires brute force.

Nothing sickens me more than to see a set of abused steering arms or manual hubs removed by an obliviot.

Clean the area of mud and debris.
Apply some lubricant like PB Blaster
Use a brass drift and a hammer to TAP, not beat the ever loving crap out of, on the stud and surrounding areas
Use patience and work around
If one wont come off immediately try another
Once one is off the rest loosen up quick

Never any need to get abusive with the hammer

Never any need for heat

Work smart not hard.

I used my brick hammer when I took mine off. It's got a square, flat head, and is offset from the handle about 3 inches. The head went right over the top of the hubs. I just had to hit the end of the stud a couple of times, just tapping, not hard, and the washers popped loose.

Other than that, Wabbit is right on
