Front hub…Help!

[Nigelblandin]

Hi all. I need a front left hub for an ‘85 GTL urgently please.
The bottom joint is seized in the unit, but no budging it, drilling it heating it is working.
Does anyone have a suitable hub , or unit around East Anglia, Essex area?

If nobody on the forum has one, there's this:

Is the joint still attached or has it been cut off? Surprised a decent splitter isn't working but it would be tricky to extract if it has been cut off.

Thanks both. The splitter actually bent the shaft, cut it and tried to drift it. No go and I’m a digger mechanic so can hit things! Drilled it, but it slipped in the clamp and snapped the bit…hmmm.
Now with a local engineer who is going to mill out the pin and reface if needed.
At least it will get me on the boat to France next week, if I’m not happy, I’ll source another.
Thanks, as always , for you help.
