What is going to happen after riding?
Anyone camping out?
Cookout or restaurant?

I dont wanna bring Stoneman grill if not needed.

Hallelujah!  I finally got one of the Pilot hubs out.  I feel a lot closer to being able to make this ride now.  If you look a few post back I posted a a jig I made to put a lot of force on the hub while soaking it in PB blaster.  Well as best I can tell the jig didn't do shit.  I went to Harbor freight tools yesterday and bought their 13 lb slide hammer.  After making an adapter to fit on my jig's 5/8" all thread rod, I slammed that slide hammer about 10 times and the hub finally popped out.  You could tell the PD Blaster had soaked into the yoke by the smell.  Here's an image of the hub.

Awesome! Glad you got that damn thing out! Can't tell from the picture...my splines were wore fairly bad, are yours? My main shaft looks A-1 though. Glad I changed then out now. Next is to do Ted's and Sinclair's  :roll:  I'll be needing the slide hammer for those, where as mine popped out by hand....they had been out 2 years ago and never-seized heavily ;)

Make sure you take a good stainless brush to those spines.  The type that fits on the end of a drill works pretty good.   Get it as clean as you can.

Same goes for the hole it came out of.   Once again - stainless brush.  If you can find something like a bottle washer in metal that would be killer.  I used one of those little wooden brushes you find at the autoparts store.   Trim the handle so it goes in farter/easier.  Consider it a one shot use brush too..

Slop anti-sieze all over the ends of the joint and inside the hole also.  You can't use too much in this case.

Stainless brush

I found probably about as good a brush as you could use to clean the receiver part of the shaft.  Plumbers use a round stainless bristle brush to clean fittings.  THe 1" brush is a tight fit inside the receiver.  Theyr'e about $3 at home depot.

EGAD!  I tried Vegemite long ago when I was in Melbourne.
Just what the hell is that stuff?  :huh:

YUCK!
