There are two UK Triumph specialists in the UK that I have used to 
remove these hubs. Both use the special tool or what appears to be a 
home made version of it.  Both will do the job while you wait with no 
trouble at all. Forget heating it up and ruining the hub etc in the 
process. Get or make one of these tools!!
