Cant seem to get this oil collector out of the hub on A702? Any recommendations before I destroy it even more? Thanks

I say this very cautiously......I have used a torch before to burn it down low enough to get the hub off. Do this at your own risk if you must! (try everything else first.)

Windy can I use a chisel and piece it out just enough to get hub off and then remove threads later?

If there is enough of a slot, a hand impact works well

If not enough of a slot, weld a nut on the inside only to the collector that is the biggest for the socket to fit thru the hub plug hole. Put a rattle gun on the socket and most times it will turn right out This is easier on big mills.
