Hub extractor

[crankedup]

I need to remove the rear hub of my vintage car, the handbook says 'remove with an hub extractor'. Is this an standard size piece of garage equipment or do they come in differing sizes? Thanks.

Different cars may require different tools....

Often a hammer can suffice, but in many cases, it cannot.

Thanks for answer/reply, I have seen that Sealey Tools offer an Hub Puller which is said to fit virtually all hubs so perhaps I shall try that.

I think some are like a slide hammer and others use a nut that screws into the hub to pull it out.

Many I have seen attach to the wheel studs .. but they have been for cars with a rear axle link escort / capri..

At the moment my cars hub extraction is a bit of an mystery to me. The car is 1925 vintage and being extremely rare I am unable to have an natter with other owners! All I can say at the moment is that the drivers handbook says use an hub extractor, should be fun
