Re: Buying a hub puller
Keep those puller threads oiled!
They can generate a bit of heat when using with an impact gun. |

Re: Buying a hub puller
PETE, I'm just trying to learn something here so, what do you mean when you say to "If you lap the hub to the axle when assembling". I'm an old dummy and don't know what "lap" means.

Put an abrasive compound (valve grinding) on the axle taper and put the hub on and spin it (no key of course) by hand. Take it off and wipe clean to check the surfaces for full contact. Do this number of times required. The compound takes off the high spots until they surfaces match. When the surfaces match you will have the best taper fit you can get and no movement to shear key (if torqued properly) . That's my take on it. I'm sure I'll be corrected, if wrong. |

Re: Buying a hub puller
I have the Winfield and I couldn't believe how well it worked! I tried all the other solutions posted here and finally bought the tool. I swear as I was tightening up the puller in preparation for the real pulling to begin, then damn hub came right came off.

Re: Buying a hub puller
Hello Everyone, nice discussion going here.
Following the link that bobH posted in message #7, I found a link to some nice instructions for the VintagePrecision tool. Includes pictures and names for all the pieces. Helpful for visualization. http://vintageprecision.com/products...tructions.html Regards the lapping, how does one know when the surfaces match? Thanks, VT/JeffH |

Re: Buying a hub puller
There was a super home made puller thread on the HAMB.
