Are Alpine hubs the same construction? I recently had trouble getting =
the hubs off my Alpine. No amount of tightening the center bolt would =
do it. I tried heat. But not enough heat. Then Dan Walters came by =
with his hub puller. He had both of in less than 15 minutes, with less =
than 50 ft lbs. Instead of tightening the center bolt, once that was =
set, he tightened each of the four outside rods, a little at a time. He =
said by using the outside bolts, there is more leverage, needing less =
torque.
