Does anyone know how to remove the hub flange from the tapered half shaft. We have tried in a press, with heat to the point of almost bending the flange without success! Any ideas would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Some photos of this puller (ideally in use) would be mighty handy for future reference.

Pleased you've sorted the hub. What sort of engine are you looking for: one of same type as fitted as standard to do up; or an upgraded one already built?

Thank you, we have now managed to make a puller thanks to Hugh, and have successful removed the flange after leaving overnight! Just need a spare engine now with a alloy head? Does anyone know where we can buy one?

Yes, I do remember Derek; we had a bit of fun trying to guess what it was used for to start with. Seems like this member sorted on that bit now. Cheers. G

Ah, just seen that you have had difficulties with this bit. Did you get it sorted? Otherwise I will ask my mechanic friend who is more au fait with these things. I know you need a 'puller' to get the shafts out of the diff, but not sure off of the actual hub
