I'm currently in the very same boat.... We (Dad & I) spent most of Sunday
fabricating a facsimile Churchill hub puller, but used only 1/4" steel... we
bent those parts.... lol.
So, Dad's making a beefier version with 1/2" steel, and finer thread on the
bolt.... We'll try again this weekend....
Over a year ago Tony Gordon drew up a proper churchill clone (which uses
1/2" steel... go figure! ) I've forwarded a copy of his plans to you in a
seperate email...
Be careful at the shop, as I've heard people actually bending the hubs
themselves applying too much pressure at localized points (ie: a two jaw
puller)....
I'll let you know how things work for us this weekend... hang in there, they
do come off!
Cheers!
