Joe,
I beg to differ, but have to say that if you use your standard press to
remove Spitfire hubs, more often than not you will end up destroying the
hub. The Churchill tool is designed to exert pressure evenly around the
hub an therefore pull it off without damage. Most bench presses I have
seen don't do that. Instead, they concentrate the pressure in 2 or 3
spots and the hub is too fragile to withstand the uneven pressure.
