Especially those with a central hub puller set up like a commercial puller. Mine uses 4 grade 8, 7/16 UNC bolts to provide the grunt and so I never have to pull more than 45 ft- pounds on the torque wrench handle to get a hub to pop off. But it would be nice to have a handle that could be braced against the floor during the torquing. The goodness is that he hubs very seldom need to actually be removed. Kudos to all who have fab’d their pullers! Nice tool to have on the shelf.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Drmayf<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Aka Larry<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pahrump<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net">tigers-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ron Fraser via Tigers<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, February 18, 2022 11:51 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:clydemclaughlin@verizon.net">clydemclaughlin@verizon.net</a><br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:tigers@Autox.Team.Net">tigers@Autox.Team.Net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tigers] rear axle hub puller<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Clyde<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> As I see it, conversations like this one are never closed.
