If yours is the (my term:) "normal" kind with the flange with 6 bolts
at the flange hanging off the center section, yes those bolts need to
be pulled. you can probably jam it with a wrench on one of the bolts
while breaking others free. I'd use a pipe wrench on the axle shaft
as a last resort. You did break the hub nut free while the tire was
still on the ground, right? if you don't have air to break these free
you'll never get that off without the tire holding it. You're looking
at at least 200 pound feet to break that mother free. I think torque
spec is 165 ft-lbs.
