Folks,
Those with long memories will recall that I undertook the design of a
replacement rear hub puller since the original Churchill pullers have long
gone west (or to lost tool heaven). And since interest was so high, I also
foolishly volunteered to get local students to make some copies as a
fund-raiser ....
Since I was only able to get 6 copies of the design made by the students
(and it took so long to get them made), Jim Wallace kindly offered to see
if he couldn't get some made to satisfy the demand ... anyway, between Jim
and myself, we ended up with some duplicate orders (and even the most
ambitious of us will not need 2 pullers!), so I have 2 pullers available on
a first come, first serve basis.
The pullers are very heavy duty units that will remove the rear hubs
without distortion or major drama (the force is applied using an Acme
thread -- this is the key to making these work!). With Jim Wallace's help,
they have been verified on the TR3's and mine worked very well on my TR6,
so should work for all models. In addition, these are beautiful pieces of
machining - they really look good!
The cost is $135 US including UPS Ground shipping in the US (outside of the
US will be $125 plus actual shipping cost). The money paid goes directly
to support the Saginaw Career Complex Students VICA fund (a national
vocation skills Olympiad).
If you are interested in owning you own hub-puller (which will be shipped
with very detailed instructions on hub-rebuilding), please let me know and
I will send you details on the payment and shipping.
