valencia1 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 need to take the hub assembly to triumph workshop/engineers etc, pretty specialist job. trying to do it home may make it worse, unless you have the proper churchill tool.regards, bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The Swing axle hub is on a taper and extremely tight (if you look at Doug Foremans '3 wheels on my wagon' thread you'll see why this is mostly a good thing!).The best (and pretty much the only) way is to beg, borrow or buy the proper churchill tool or copy of it (see pic) and use that. Unless you have a nice big strong vice on a heavy bench you might want to leave the drive shaft on the car until the hub has loosened.There are a few out there that just won't move (pulling the thread off all 4 wheel nuts is a strong hint) but that tool will get nearly all of them.The hub on the rotoflex type rear end will usually come off with a decent 3 legged puller.CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Avaailable frorm the TSSC Club Shop (http://www.tssc.org.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=631&Itemid=59), or DiY plans at the Spitfire & GT6 magazine website in the USA. Their site is not fully functional at present - I think they are about to transfer to a different server, but when they do, the DiY page should be in the 'How to...' or 'Mantainance' sections.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
