Has anyone any tips for getting hubs off the half shafts? so far all the follwing have failed:
1. A Draper hub puller, heat on the hub. and a big hammer (broken hub puller)
2. Modifying my hydraulic pipe bender to make a hub press (steel of the pipe bender is flexing)
3. Swearing and ranting

Not a finished job, but clean enough to start the polishing up. Valve compressor comes tomorrow, then they can come out and be cleaned and reseated with new seals

Yeah, it's usually the bearings that stick in the ends of the axle tubes. As Dobber says, if you're going for disc brakes & don't need the drum back plates, cut 'em off so you can get a clear shot at the hub. Then use a chunk of wood against the back of the hub & a few sharp whacks with a heavy hammer to loosen them. Turn the axle to hit alternate sides of the hub & try to avoid the corners cos you don't want to break 'em off! The hubs should drift out with the shafts attached. Nice clean head you've got there Andy. As I'm sure you know, the valves are held with a pair of tapered "collets" that sit in a groove in the valve stem, above the spring. If you haven't got access to a spring compressor, you can remove them by putting a small block of wood against the valve head in the combustion chamber, then placing a suitable sized socket on the washer on top of the spring & giving it a sharp whack with a hammer. That compresses the spring enough to dislodge the collets. Best done with a rag over the spring to catch the collets though, cos they will ping out, ricochet off the ceiling of your shed & never be seen again. Yeah, I speak from experience.  |
