i realize its been on there for 19 years but is there any way of getting the thing off? i don't have access to an impact wrench or a torch. I'm soaking it in pb blaster now but any other advise would be great

take it to a local shop and have them heat it up n break it they wont charge much. i just had to do that cuz my bearing was shot n i lucked out they didnt charge me.

had a similar problem with a 200,000+mile subaru, was able to take the centercap out of the wheel and put a 1" ratchet with a 4ft pipe on the end, basically lifted the wheel off the ground but came off after a couple tries
