That tool works very well for bending Spitfire hubs! You need the Churchill
tool to stabilize the hub while applying the pressure to the axle.

Mark,
You might try somthing like this from Northern Tools:
Performance Tool Hub Puller and Installer Set, Model# W89324
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200354081
_200354081
It is similar though a little different shape.
I purchased a Craftsman version of this about 40 yrs ago and have used it
to pull Spit hubs over the years:
