You might 'just' be lucky with a 3 legged puller(but I doubt it - before I get
flamed again,see previous post).  I once bolted a purpose built (OK, OK I made
it out of scraps of steel plate and bits of angle iron I had in the garage) to
a Herald rear shaft, only to find the hub pull of in my hand after the hub nut
was undone (can I please STATE that this is the ONLY time this has happened,
and I think the 'Hand of God' must also have helped).  Failing this the TSSC
sells a purpose built puller (Designed on the original tool) for this very job,
trouble is they sell it for 50 quid which is alot for a tool that (hopefully)
won't get used very often.

Would you class a 50 ton Hydraulic press as a 'reasonable variety of tools' :-)
