Duke- I had slide hammers out my butt- none fit. I had a broken lug bolt to
start, so getting it out was a piece of cake- I removed the oppisite corner. 2
pieces of all thread. One end goes in the holes of the axle housing- after the
outer coverw/ seal is removed.3 nuts on the all thread and if memory serves I
used 1 flat washer to go against the back side of the axle. After the all
thread is in place I use 2 wrenches to lock 2 nuts(jam them against each
other) and they are by the axle housing- with them jammed you can hold the
roll- so when you run the 1st nut off and against the inside of the axle, the
all thread cant turn as you are holding THAT roll using the 2 nuts jammed
together- then just remove the nut off the end of the all thread- having 2
pieces(one on oppisite corners)
it pushes the axle out easier than any puller will- I havent seen your puller
but I will bet a cold beer to use it a special foot will have to be made to
bolt it to the lug bolts- remember that castle nut- what does it screw onto?
Threads right in the middle of a 4.25 circle- doesnt leave room to get the
puller on- basically what I did was use the end of the axle housing , 2 pieces
of all thread and length doesnt matter as they go thru the lug bolt holes 2 of
them- long enough to tighten the nuts behind the axles end. You have to
remove the brake lines and the backing plate on both sides as well. I hope
youre puller works but I am telling you a much easier way to pull the axles
and I own a puller- went to auto zone and rented one with all kinds of feet,
then to a mechanic friends to get his snap on set- none fit the Tiger axle BUT
one isnt needed- its easier the way I did it and the axle comes right out.
Now this was while Im trying to get the car redy to go to SUNI last yeaar. I
had had little sleep and had eaten way more pain meds than my Dr. reccomends-
so I might have a detail wrong but if you have a foot long piece of 5/16-
maybe 3/8 as I used the nuts that hold the axle in, you can easily pull the
axles- when you tighten the 4 nuts it pushes the axle in AFTER you get it
inside the rearend, so the splines are lined up.
Good luck, TonytheTiger
Dam keyboard doesnt want to make an a- hope I didnt mipell to many words.

The slide hammer WILL NOT be used for hub removal. It will be used to pull
the axles once the hubs are loose.
I got the slide hammer on Craig slits for practically nothing. It is a
complete kit with many attachments.
I just need to find the hardware to thread on to the hub studs that I can
then thread with bolts through the puller. I will back off the castle nut
until it is flush with the axle and then use even torque to pup the hub
loose. That's the plan anyway.
