You can adjust though a lug hole. Something i wish I'd have known before getting though from the back which is much more difficult.

(If we're talking about the hand brake)

I need a hack to separate the hub and bearing! I have a floor jack available. Rent-a-tool?

Rent slide hammer to pull hub and inner race. Heat is supposed to work to separate inner race but i always cut mostly though with angle grinder then chisel.

I knew someone would bring it up! Maybe if I show up with tacos and donuts, they'll press them out for free. I can save the hubs to "pay it forward". For science sake, the bearing and hubs will be separated.
