Some factory hubs are installed with locking cones, which can be difficult to remove.
Two methods to dislodge the locking cones are:
1) Place a socket slightly larger than the cone against the hub flange and rap sharply with a hammer.
2) Place a brass punch on the end of the stud and rap sharply with a hammer.
TOYOTA TACOMA note: Wheel and tire may need to be removed for hub access, and hub cosmetic cover (if present) needs to be removed
from wheel and discarded before re-installation, to clear Warn hub body.
