Wagger Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Does the clb shop sell this tool? If so, I want to buy one. If not, does anyone live near enough to Eastbourne for me to hire it from them. Will pay whatever deposit is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264856667704?hash=item3daab00638:g:tLIAAOSwvChfVTW8 Found one on eBay but it says Gt6 Mk2 and 3 Rotoflex only; never knew there was a difference. Why will one hub puller not suit all with the same PCD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 The club shop has the puller priced at £75 plus p&p ( club member price ) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference between roto and non-roto hubs is that the non-roto are fitted on a taper and weld themselves on. I don't recognise the "adapter plate" he claims you need for Spitfires. I've done both Spitfires and rotoflex GT6 with the same hub puller, which was probably an early version of the club one, or may have come from John Kipping. Sadly it went missing years ago.

PeteH Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I cannot see why this would not work on non roto hubs. Unless there is a significant dimensional difference?. But if that be the case surely the PCD would be different? The Hub shown looks identical to the 13/60? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I could think of is that, as I mentioned, the roto hubs tend not to need quite so much force, so a weaker puller is usually enough. The club one is a better bet.

PeteH Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 I have to admit I fabricated my own, Crude, using stuff I had lying about. But very efective. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagger Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Taper shaft fits are notoriously good at fusing together. (Some refer to it as 'Cold Welding'). I have had to tighten pullers up, stuff the whole lot in the chest freezer (when cook was out). Then pour boiling water over the outer part in order to break the join. Always leave the retaining nut or bolt just a turn slack or it could shoot you somewhere really painful when it releases. In extreme cases I have used a blowlamp, but that really should be a last resort as the part could be degraded or made brittle. (See what I wrote about 'Materials' in the general section) Anyway, I need one of these but, for some stupid reason, the site won't let me log in and order one. It did not like 'Firefox' last time. Can I phone in and order one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hi Wagger. I have one and am in Eastbourne. Unfortunately I am not local to you. Will have to add 300 meters to that distance to get to my place🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I phone in and order one? I know of one in Uckfield. Drop me a message if interested. Otherwise Ian Gittings is the chap who has been making/supplying these for years. The adapter plate is an extra bit.....think it helps in some part of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
