Never done it myself, but I hear it takes a LOT of force to get those to budge. Apparently so much energy that when you do break it loose, it sounds like a bomb going off. hah

Toyota will change bearing and hub for $450, thats with me bringing them the spindle.. Found one at a local junk yard for 150, but who knows what I will have to replace after they tear it off.
