Ralph, does this tool design provide the required support for the flange as
the puller screw is being turned? I seem to recall (but may have this all
confused) the Churchill tool described in the Bentley manual has a second
part which provides a place for the yoke to be inserted so that it does not
get bent. How would you support or stabilize the hub assembly while using
your tool and torquing on the puller screw?
