The trick is that you really do need the special Churchill tool, or a
replica. Although you _may_ be able to get the hub off with either an
ordinary hub puller, or by removing the entire half shaft and taking it
to a shop to have the hub pressed off, most people have found these
methods distort the hub, making it unusable.
I don't have the info handy at the moment, but someone posted to the
list recently that they had a shop class that was going to manufacture
and sell 6 Churchill hub pullers this year. Try searching the archives
at http://www.listquest.com/lq/search.html?ln=triumphs
for more info.
Or, your local club might have one available. In Southern California,
Hermann van den Akker has made one that he loans to club members ...
