hawkit Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 guessing this has proberly been asked a good few time to all you regulars but just started stripping the remainder of my chassis to recon all the parts an put on my nice new one. But alas fell at the first hurdle can't get the hub off i gather you need a special tool to do this job as i've just watched some bloke do it on you tube Question is do i really need this tool or will a normal puller do with any tricks Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Yep, use the proper puller or the hubs can bend, and more likey you will break the puller.worth investigating if there is anybody near you who will pull the hub. Some garages will for a nominal fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herald948 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 1235 wrote: Could buy one but i,m tight and don't want to Understood. It's not easy to justify the expense of a special tool if it gets very little use. On the other hand:$61.71 for a reconditioned hub (CC)$102.25 for a hub puller (CC)(Sorry, I have my Canley searches set for US dollars!)Replacing the two hubs you'll bend and ruin with a cheaper, incorrect puller (which, as others note, is likely not to stand up to the job) costs more than one proper puller!

They come up on Fleabay from time to time at reasonable money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 you could take the whole assy to a friendly garage that has a press with a suitable throat to accept and support the hub,many have them and you may get it removed for a beer or a few £and have come across some that even the correct puller wont shift without some serious heat on the hub.or left on overnight ask around Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it separated at 25 ton ??)Unfortunately they had left the nut on (loose) for security. Once it released the force removed the nut and stripped off all the threads on the shaft ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
