I made a hub puller for my Spits in a way that should work for TR's as well.
Take an old trashed wire wheel splined adapter. Cut down to just below the
splines have a 1/2" or so plate cut and welded in to fill the hole. Have it
center drilled and tapped for a large puller screw like the one you can get
out of a $10 pitman arm puller. Bolt it on to the hub a screw away. Should
be able to be built for much less than $130

This is true. However, the original message was about pulling apart an
outer hub on a TR6 or TR250 - the bolt circle for the TSSC device does
not have the requesite 4 by 4.5 inch circle holes that you need in order
to take apart outer TR6 hubs...
