I always replace the hub seals as well at the same time, been caught out too many times with seals starting to leak a month after they’ve been disturbed, plus I repack the hubs and bearings with fresh grease. As for the half shaft collets I just use long withdrawal bolts and gently tap the cap with soft face hammer whilst using air gun to gently tighten withdrawal bolts evenly and slowly, the collets come off with the cap usually, great channel you have here, keep up the good work you deserve every success 👍
Put the nuts back on a couple of threads. Pull the hub cap off using the draw bolt holes. When the hub cap comes off far enough that it hits the hub cap nuts, stop and take the draw bolts out. Then twat the hub cap back on, the collets will stay on the studs or be loose enough to get out. I worked for scania as a technician for 20÷ years
Hi Chris Those collects are on Isuzu trucks Can be a right pain You can get a tool for removing them ,seen one on bus grease monkey. Gray hound bus's same set up Thanks for the video Have a great weekend mate
For the collets i take of the nuts. use penetrating oil, put some tention with the draw bolts like you did. then hit the hub cap just above the studs. its gonna mess the customers paint up abit but thats sometimes the only way to get them to pop out

Hi Chris, great video, I bought a set of OTC Axle Stud Cone Pliers (OTC7077) for removing Volvo halfshaft collets, not used them yet but I'm hoping they do the job.
Smack the splin drive at the top of the base of every bolt. Keep the nuts on loose or you will lose the collets... Bive lost a few.. Smack them where I said and they will fly out
