ebinmaine 67,627 #2 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Believe it or not the Best puller is actually another hub. Do NOT use a 3 jaw. @953 nut has shared a pic or two of hub puller that's done with threaded rod and a jack.

ebinmaine 67,627 #3 Posted April 25, 2021 Scroll down a bit in this thread and there's a few great puller ideas. I've put a few "search words" in it so I can find it when I need to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #4 Posted April 25, 2021 ebin , agree with you on the use of another hub , the most important thing of a long stuck part removal , is OVERWHEMING SOLID STRENGTH , when its hooked up correctly , its just a solid steady pull off , steering wheel removal is a good example of that . when that steering shaft is bouncing , you are going nowhere . when you brace it up to a wall or post , the mechanical pull is solid and smooth . learned from failure , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,752 #7 Posted April 25, 2021 This has never failed me... While you have it off, check the seal...good time to replace it too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
