Pete Lewis Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 if there is rotational float it must be an easy off job  certainly a generic puller will only bend the flanges and wreck the hub flange a good fitting hub takes a enormouse load to split the taper hence the brick sh!thouse special ones made for the job keep the flange better supported if its not on tight theres a problem ...one old trick is fit the wheel only fit the nuts half on and sit on the floor and whack the wheel up the studs but this only works on hubs that wont to come off , the swing axle triumpg hub on a taper has a very strong conection to the shaft unless its been going round and round !!!!! do not keep retightening its masking a problem you realy dont want to find but im sure you will need a replacement hub flange in the end Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had to do one, yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 No !  it wont remove a normal ruddy tight hub its just a way of making an slide hammer out of what you have would work fine if a front hub is playing hard to shift its an old idea and when it works you end up with wheel and hub on your chest while you now lie on your back  ha !
