I think I may have messed up my hub today

[Pdwight]

When I removed the triangular brace assemble the axle came out super easy, no need to remove the sway bar or links (so far) However when I tried to use a large bearing separator and three lugs to pull the hub something went wrong. It pulled slightly about like what I would have expected for tension, but I did not notice that I had run out of threads on the lugs being used. one came out easily, the other not so easy even after I put lubricant on the threads that extended out the back...the third was a bear requiring a lot of force to back it back out. Now I loosened all three in a criss cross pattern until the bearing separator was lose and that was not much at all then I removed the separator so I could get a look at the back of the lugs...the bad one looked like it was distorted ??

I tried some unused lugs I had then they went in with some resistance to the hole I removed the last one from. I think I will try to source a used hub to replace this one...any help from you guys ?

Thanks in advance
