Re: [Healeys] Rear Axle Hub Removal
Mike,
To remove the hub, use a 3 arm gear puller with a center piece piloted
on the axle.? I don't like the idea of applying impact loads from a
slide hammer to bearings.
I bought a 12 point, 3/4" drive, Williams socket and used my lathe to
remove the chamfer.? The steel was soft enough to cut; didn't need to
grind.? I also have the Churchill 8 sided factory tool.? It has a pilot
that fits in the axle which is nice.? In my old age, I can't always
generate enough torque to loosen the nut with the factory tool.? Could
make a longer rod.
Remember, the nut on the right hand side has left hand threads.? There
is usually "RH" or "LH" stamped on one side of the nut near "MOWOG".? Of
course, that side is probably not facing out.
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
