[Mgs] front hub removal problem

[Glenn Schnittke]

Yes. Moss has just the tool to deal with that and it's one of the most 
valuable tools in the kit and could save you a lot of money in this 
particular job and many others -
Go to http://www.mossmotors.com and look up part number 212-320. You 
will  find it invaluable. A good alternative is part number 212-405. I 
find the two of them in combination work quite well. If you look hard 
you may find the same tool for the TR and the bike. I'm surprised you 
hadn't run across this tool before.

Good luck,
Glenn
