Dont fool around when pulling the hub from the rear axle. It very
easy to bend the hub. Use the proper tool, an axle puller with
four legs.
Another tip, thread a die on the end of the axle. Then when
mushroom the end of the axle with the 5 lb precision adjustment
tool, you can recut the threads with the die. I did't do that and
spend over an hour with a thread chaser and file, recutting the
threads on the end of the axle.
Also the die will hold the hub when it does separate. Don't be
surprised at the loud bang when it comes loose. My mechanic
says he has seen the hubs fly completely across a shop and
make a hole against a wall.
Good luck
Dave
