Long story short. My father in law "borrowed" a motor grader from an uncle. Grader had no brakes, but he was able to get it up to the top of the mountain and park it next to our house. That was 5 yrs ago. The grader needs to go, needs to be moved. His project of fixing the brakes never came to fruitition. He got it jacked up and removed one wheel, but then got stuck at trying to pull the hub off. Stopped there and hasn't looked at it again.
Well now uncle wants grader back, and I'm stuck trying to get this thing working again. I'm not taking it down the mountain w/o brakes, and can't use the grader to act as a brake, as part of the way is on a paved road, going down.
I found a snippet of a mtc manual that says you make a little tool (6" pipe with nut welded on end) and jack up opposite side wheel, put the pipe on wheel on ground and hit pipe multiple times to break the hub free. Is this how it's done? Just trying to find an easy way to at least see if it's something simple as the wheel cylinders for the brakes or what.........
