Yes, you need a puller. You can borrow mine if you can arrange to collect it. Regards, John

Sorry Christo, can't be of help!
John, would you mind posting some pictures of your puller? Where does it attach?
Many thanks,
Koen

It fits in place of a wheel, having a right-hand thread in one side and a left-hand thread in the other.

Brilliant! That was what I was wondering about, the two threads....maybe a good addition to the consortium tools list? I just ordered the tool for the front suspension, and it is extremely well done for a very decent cost. I reckon if ten of these pullers where ordered in one go they could be made for very reasonable money...

Probably worth asking around other Clubs as no doubt it is a very commonly needed tool for Rudge Whitworth hubs, I know the Bugatti Owners Club have supplied them in the past - probably a bit expensive though. What about asking one of the hub manufacturers such as Orson Equipment who show such a tool on their website. http://www.orsonequipment.co.uk/accessories/Mike

For my Gussie I made pullers simply by welding short bars across surplus left side and right side spinners. The bar was drilled through and a nut welded on!! A nice long bolt and the job was done!! Very simple and very cheap, what's not to like!!!!

Andy - I'm going to remember that... When I do the question will be if you do, and then where they might be.
