FWIW, I only got about 25k miles out of my Centric conversion hubs before both had bearing failures. Went back with OEM design. I plan to have the bearings in the Centric hubs replaced with Timkens one day and use them as a backup. Still searching for the correct Timkens.

Yeah. I took a chance on them and lost. Others have had better luck. Tells me the quality control is hit or miss.

Find a strong friend. Had a buddy that couldn't break his loose even with a breaker bar and pipe. He's a skinny dude, like 150 soaking wet. I was able to break it loose fairly easily using his same gear, but I am more than twice his size.

You either need a stronger person, or a longer lever so you can use your strength better.
