Is their a trick, or some thing I am doing wrong or missing I tried a hub puller and hitting it but NOTHING works I found a how to but it is for a ram 1500 any help would be kool.

A deepwell socket between the hub and axle housing. With the front end in the air, start the truck and then turn the steering wheel. the power steering will pop it right out as long as you have all the bolts loose. Your gonna fight yourself to death with a puller.

If this doens't work you still got bolts holdin it.

I cant really find a place the axle is in the way or should the axle be out by now?

Should be a spot right up there in the knuckle/U-joint. Just put it between that U-joint and the housing behind it. You might need somebody to hold it while you turn the steering wheel into it. Just make sure they move before you put any pressure on it cause it will pop out when it goes..
