Thanks, Bob, and to Len as well.

A related question: Some years ago, a long-time Stag owner posted a message
on the Stag list about a novel way of separating hubs.  He said an
ex-Triumph dealer showed him this method.  As I recall, his description was
a steel rod about 1.5" in diameter that was drilled and tapped to thread
onto the end of the axle, along with a sacrificial spacer that fit between
the end of the shaft and the shoulder of the axle, inside the opening of the
hub.  He said to just slide the spacer on, then turn the drift down against
it.  Support the flange and whack the drift with a BFH.  He claimed it would
remove hubs that wouldn't come off in a press.

Anyone else ever heard of this?  I've not had occasion to try it yet, but I
certainly plan to when the time comes.
