To All,
If you are interested, I have designed, built, and used a hub puller for
TR6 hubs. It does not require any special machining and can be built in
your garage. Although I say it can be built in your garage, it does
require the use of a welder. It is beneficial if you have a gas cutting
torch but this is not absolutely required. Pictures, drawings, and text
can be found at http://members.visi.net/~kohout/index.html. This page
is very rudimentary but it is the start of pages which will document the
V8 conversion of a 72 TR6. I am currently searching for my images of
the rocker panel (outer sill). I took these as I was removing the
rocker panel and am going to illustrate the steps required to remove and
replace the outer sills.
