Leon Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi all. Trying to do a rear wheel baring on my herald and as I'm shaw you all can guess i have hit a blank, short of making a hub puller myself. I am hoping that a club member has one they would be able to post to me for a few days in return for a few bear tokens???? I will cover all postage costs or even come and meet you if your close enough. i am based in the north west, wirral area. Hope someone can help and thanks in advance. all the best.

Pete Lewis Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 these are £72 from club shop and for any idea of postage cost they weigh 5kg many dont let them out of sight as there's a hi risk the threads can get mullered so loans often need a good deposit just some thoughts on your idea hope you find a local one Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 thank you. it will be nice to know why no one will lent me one. looks like its out with the welder......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The flanges on the hub can bend quite easily, if using a legged or similar puller, if you can apply some load via the wheel studs or their holes dont go mad or you will bend the hub nip it up to a good load and leave it overnight, it may then just pop off but they can be right swines to remove that why the unique puller is substantial and costly hubs that get bent can be refaced on a lathe , new are costly pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 thanks for the advice. i may put it in my press, apply load, then heat. it surprises me such a simple job on everything else i can think of can be such a faff. good job there is a lathe next to my press :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 If you are interested I can put you onto a guy who did mine for me, replaced inner and outer bearings, new UJ, shot blasted / primed, welded the backplate and ground back where the handbrake lever pivot sits ( it wears a divot on the backplate) all done for £69 ( including drilling out a seized trunion bolt!) at that price it's not worth doing it yourself!

Bob Owen Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello Gadgetman I'm just about to embark on doing he bearings and UJ's on my 1500 spit. As you say for that price it is not worth doing it yourself. I'd appreciate contact details. thanks bob owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Where are you Leon? I go to the Thames and the East Berks club meetings. Both have a hub puller for hire. Maybe your local club has one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Bob. If you go on e bay and search do a user called Sponmon. Send him a message and he will do the lot for you. He is based just off the m6 toll at Lichfield. His name is Ian. He sells the tools as well but I got him to do mine. I sent mine up there with a courier and it cost me £12 to ship it.

Bob Owen Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Great, thanks for that, I'll try and find him via ebay as you suggest. I only live in Congleton, J17 M6 so close enough to pop down there. cheers bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lewis Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 i think i saw one for hire on ebay-worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Currently £60 new on eBay - including carriage - BUT the seller claims you require an adaptor to get the inner set of bearings off the rear axle which is another £48....

Pete Lewis Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 The adaptor allows you tomdrag the bearing hsg off the shaft, same as a good vice and a mallet to knock the shaft out of hsg. the dimension in the manual for refitting is just a start point fitting the backplate and hub pulls the bearing down the shaft , when done check the drum runs central over the brake shoes pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondhm Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Even when using the Club puller, this can be a very tricky job. I tried all the tricks, heating it, leaving it overnight, extra leverage. But finally I hit the bearing housing smartly on opposite sides with a pair of hammers. And the combined shock wave did the trick. A bit like splitting suspension ball joints or other taper joints. Don't bother trying to make up your own puller - the Club one is a serious bit of custom kit. I've broken too many ordinary pullers over the years. Hope this helps.

Pete Lewis Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 The outer bearing face and back plate face of the hsg, ends up 66.67mm from the end of the threaded shaft . the tool specified is just tube drift, but the manual doesnt give any dimensions really just fit the flinger 6" down the shaft grease the needle rollers fit the housing and drift the bearing up the shaft, odd there is no location it relies on friction to maintain position press or easy to whack it up the shaft if you have a vice , to 66/67mm do a dummy fit without the flange nut and check the drum is correctly central over the shoes once happy torque the nut and refit the upright etc , rear hub bearings need 4 squirts of grease gun on a service, too much will end up in the brake if the drain catcher decides to spue rather than drain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
