The warner puller

Tom,

I'm still interested when you get one that will push the hub out of the
knuckle.

Hi Tom

I showed mine to several folks at Albuquerque and they were all impressed
with it. They all got your contact information.

I also showed it to Ken Thoma and he was amazed that you could make it for
that price.

Tom,

Why not just a plate of 1/4 steel with 6 holes in it? Three to bolt onto
the knuckle, two to attach the OTC puller to and one in the center for the
center screw on the OTC. Simple and reversible for either side.

Well, I'm in favor of pulling the knuckle/hub assembly out to service
the bearings, which means the axle doesn't need to be removed. Only the
stub axle nut must be removed. The rest of the work is done on the
bench - not standing on your head in the wheel well.
