Odd,
THe "professional" referenced above has the prescribed tool to remove
the hub. Unless you plan to do this on a regular basis, it may not be
worth the expense. Add to the 53 quid the cost of shipping the thing
and it may not be worht the expense. Maybe the local club can pool
their resources and buy one to share.
My 2 pence worth,
