That was Tim who found the puller for $90. The tool I used cost me $10 and it worked for me. As Steve said my rotoflex type axle is easier to pull out. Maybe that's why it worked for me.

: $90? That's from who? And I'm sorry, I
: visit Habor Frieght
: "occasionally" just to get
: ideas. Every tool I bought in the past
: from them soon failed. 'Nuff said
: there. I work with a tight budget too,
: as why my '80 is still in the garage
: now going into it's second summer.
:
: How's the price of $65 and some change
: appeal to you? Appeals to me. And it's
: the real deal from England just like in
: the "Repair Operation Manual"
: [BL Cars Limited P/N AKM 4329]
: referencing the chapter "Rear
: Drive Shaft" para. 10 the part
: number S356C as seen illustrated, as
: well in the back of the book under
: Servicing Tools.
:
: Rimmer Brothers just had it in the
: spring sale. I agree with Steve; if you
: want to do it right, spring for the
: right tools. Mine's at work awaiting a
: ['79 short] spare axle/hub assy. to
: "play" with first, before
: doing/re-doing my '80 hubs.
: All the seals and bearings came via
: Nigel at Spitbits as a Christmas gift
: from my sweetheart. Call Nigel and talk
: it over with him. Maybe he can swing
: you a deal. Just don't expect Chinese
: tools as sufficient enough to do the
: job, and last . There's allot riding
: on the work you do.

: The current Moss price on the hub
: flange
: is $350...
: Sometimes (rarely) they will come off
: easy, but most have grown together as
: one by now, so the correct puller is
: essential.
: Good luck!

: I well remember ruining a hub using a
: three jaw puller on my Spitsix in 1981.
: Those stinkin' tapers never want to
: surrender! That's when I turned a
: substantial puller that has ben
: bulletproof ever since.
:
: I'll loan it to anyone but I've become
: more cautious in my older days and
: would ask a substantial deposit. If
: that works for you let me know cuz it's
: the ONLY way to do the job.

: I now remember how I reinstalled my
: hub.
: I used a deep socket and tapped it in.
: That was years ago when I performed
: that work.

: So do you use the nut to push the hub
: in
: place? Have the threads ever stripped
: on you by using this method?
:

: Don't need one to reinstall.

: Yep. That's what a local british car
: enthusiast also said before I worked on
: mine. Is this $90 puller also used to
: reinstall the hub? That's not really
: too bad of a price then.

: Can't you rent a puller from an auto
: store near you? When I pulled mine out,
: I used a 3 jaw puller. You can get one
: for $10 at a Harbor Freight Store. Good
: luck

: Hey does anyone have a used hub puller
: for sale? I was going to buy one but
: funds are short right now to pay 90
: bucks for one. If not I may make one,
: but if someone has one to unload let me
: know. Thanks! Tim

:
: Not a good idea Oscar! You were damn
: lucky that hub didn't bend or break. No
: I need the correct one.
