ri702bill 8,328 #4 Posted October 30, 2021 I took a different approach and built a puller that uses a two piece bearing separator so you apply pressure to the inside of the hub, not the flange. I already had the Snap on fine thread jacking screw from an old 2 jaw gear puller. Works well. Dave is absolutely correct about shocking the screw with a dead blow hammer after each turn - helps persuade it along... Bill 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,173 #5 Posted October 30, 2021 Ahhhh!! the dreaded stuck hub - it and steering wheel pulling has got to be the top problem discussed here on the forum! And, by golly, it/they can really be a booger at times. I havent seen it mentioned, but I would stress to NOT use a common 3 jaw puller, its almost certain to break the hub (course I'm referring to one that is REALLY stuck) on rare occasions they will come right off. You'll most likely have to cobble together something like the couple already shown, pulling from the back around the axle. I've got one I made totally different from those shown - but no picture, but I guess what I'm getting too is ---- youre likely to end up making some type along the lines shown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
