I made one out of 2 pieces of 1/8 inch steel plate, 4 short lengths of angle
iron, one large nut and bolt(I'm crap with thread sizes, all I know is the big
ones I used before bent, so I used a BIGGER one, about 3/4 inch diameter
thread), popped it all into the microwave on roast for 25 min's and voila....Oh
god, must stopped breathing in those damn exhaust fumes....anyway, after a bit
of chain drilling and welding...one hub puller, looks like something used for a
demonic ritual but it has never fails yet!!! although the welds are starting to
crack abit!  :-)
