Hub Püller availiable from "Canley Cassics" Triumph TR6. CNC machined very solid and only £67.98 incl vat or "Rimmer Bros" (more expensive but solid also)
imho it's a bargain and you have the satisfaction of doing the job yourself.
Buy a DTI (dial test indicater) from fleabay and your all set up to do a good job.

PLEASE read the details ...these hub pullers are not for your unit (it even states this in the advert on the CC site)...AND , why would I build the units for CC IF they had their own tools!!

GT6,Spit, Herald 3.75" PCD and TR6 is 4.5" PCD

The first time I did back bearings I just made up a big strong fine threaded PULLER !!! And got if off but it was very very tight. But on inspection I bent the crap out of it !!!!!!!!! So don't use a puller but use a press with a proper support around the hub. Or just send to Adrian I know we like to do it all are selfs but some times it's better to outsource to someone with experience and also has the tools. Richard.

Richard,
what you say is logic, but i live in France and the postage for something heavy is not cheap.
As i said earlier in the blog the hub secured on the tapered driveshaft with a key is the same problem as on Lotus Elans. During the 40+ years that i have replaced the rear wheelbearings on Elans i have always used a correctly designed puller and no damage.
I have seen damaged hubs that people have butchered because they don't know what they are doing.
If i can't find a correctly designed puller to do the job i will make one myself.
For sure i would never use a three leg puller. I have the use of a press but i want to be 100% sure to support the hub without distorting it.
When i have found a solution i will post it on the forum so we can all share our TVR adventures
best regards Alan

Ok just thought that you were talking about pcd meaning you were going to pull on studs as that's how I bent my first one. Good luck richard

[Adrian@]

Alan ...you win!...you have not read Richard's profile and understood his skill set. I am on my 3rd professional PRESS, the first two were manual presses, my current unit, the 3rd one, is hydraulic...AND I still DO NOT get some of these hubs apart!
ALSO
I think that you should ask for a quote. (because you have not AND I don't believe that your living in France and carriage cost apply as a valid argument)

I'm no distance from Adrian but do like to do as much as I can myself, so having access to a hydraulic press (at the time) I made some supports for the hub from a 3"BSP pipe flange.

Worked a treat, nothing bent or buckled.



Do appreciate that many of you may not just happen to have a 3" flange lying around, happy to lend these out but obviously quite heavy so postage could be quite expensive?

....Of course you'll also need some big spanners

[plasticpig72]

Philpot ,
that is the Bees Knees, wow just what i need. A brillant idea. I'm sure i can buy a 3" pipe flange easily.
many thanks Alan
