Default Re: 1932 BB Dump

Hey Guys, I've never worked on a BB Axle, but was wondering if you'd thought about using a Oxy/Acet rosebud torch to apply heat to the rear hub area that encompasses the axle snout?

I would think that using some heat would expand the hub and help with the pulling operation. It might also heat up any old grease and help the overall process . . . is probably how I'd go about it.

If you're really putting pressure with a puller and things are not moving, would hate to see you crack a drum - they might be a bit hard to find.

Any 'Big Truck' guys here that have experience along this line?
