WIMPUS Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi you all ! Does someone know where to buy a hub puller the cheapest ? :)As i got a noise at the back & now got a second hand shaft.But need to remove the hub, so i can switch the backplates .. Better asked a few days ago, then someone could maybe buy one for me at Stoneleigh (if they where found cheaply there) Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A couple on UK eBay at the moment, not cheap though!If you were local you could borrow mine, but as it is the postage would probably cost you more than buying one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to mail they as i can't find it on there very bad site, but already sended a pm to Dirk (saltdirk) :)Actually do want one of my own, as it seems not many spit owners have it around here :-/Sometimes i wish i lived in the UK, just as it seems to be easier to get help for the spitfire, parts & tools :)Would also save me a lot on postage ! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsbody47uk Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi Wimpus. You need the proper hub puller and they are expensive. Try TSSC shop or Canley Classics, but they cost about £65. Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timireson Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 sponmon on ebay makes them himself from time to time. I bought my spring compressor from him, benefit for me hes only just down the road, but all his stuff is very well made, and I think he supplies a lot of the companies. tim.

ahebron Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Or like I didFind a bloke with a big lathe and scrap bits of big steel give him an axle and beer.One hub pulling tool made for the price of dozen beer.It does help if he works for a big company.Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 and then is was loose !!And without the 'good' tool, just used a 3 legged one.A bit of force, then hit the hub on 3 places with a hammer and it jumped right loose ;DNot sure if i would change the bearings, as the new kit i got it made in **** and the bearings & co now are made in UK/england.Sooo.. Now to do it on the spitfire :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 3 leg pullers have a habit of bending the hub..... Check yours is ok before you use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubce Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi AllI bought a hub puller off ebay last month. It shifted the first hub easily enough but the welds broke when I came use it on the second hub! When i looked closer I discovered that the weld was simply sitting on the surface with no penetration and no preparation of the joint. Took it to someone who has a large manual arc welder and after grinding off the old welds, v slotting the joints, he then put down some good weld. The second hub popped off nicely.Beware of the quality of the welding if you buy one of those pullers.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Fawlty Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is the best hub puller by farIt just works and does the job without causing secondary damage£65 sounds a lot but a wrecked shaft and hub is a lot moreBazhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-GT6-HERALD-VITESSE-REAR-HUB-PULLER-GUARANTEED-TO-WORK-/321723357144?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae834d7d8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODIN Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I Agree, Baz I also used "sponmon" via EbayArrived very quickly Looks very professionally made with substantial welds-It needs to be very strong - and specific to the task,"generic" hub pullers are likely to let you down and maybe do damage.£65 plus P&P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
