BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) When you say oil seal on back axle are the symptoms oil all over the brake shoes? If so it is more than likely the tube seal and no extractor is required. You will also want to consider fitting Speedisleeve to the half shaft seal area.

Nobbysr Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have a sykes pickavant hydraulic 15mt hub puller and i'm in wallingford if the hubs haven't been off for a while you may even struggle with that. I ended cutting one of the hubs off. I had tried pressing it off with a 100 mt brake press and that sucker wouldn't shift , once i had cut a slot in the hub it came off with a few hits cheers Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy303 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) If you can't find one locally you can make an alternative puller for not much money that I found to work even better. The treads on the hub, however, need to be in decent condition.

Lebro Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Interesting, I had wondered about using the thread on the hub, as that is what it is there for. Need to find a 1 7/8" 8 TPI nut. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy303 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Bob: If you go to the first page in the link I posted there is a parts list, which I reproduce here: Ok, this is how I did it, The parts you need are as follows 1 x Grade 2H steel nut, 1-7/8" x 8 tpi, McMaster-Carr # 90521A037 $10.59 1 x Grade 5 steel bolt, 1-1/2" x 6 tpi, 5" long McMaster-Carr # 91283A452 $12.43 1 x Grade 8 steel nut, 1-1/2" x 6 tpi, McMaster-Carr # 90499A041 $4.43 1 x Multipurpose 110 copper bar 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 6" McMaster-Carr # 8964K851 $11.55 Center the 2 nuts on top of each other and weld them together, I held them together with the bolt during the weld. I had the heat on the mig turned way up and the nut assy took about 45min to cool off enough to move but still to hot to handle by hand. You can find the parts on the McMaster Carr site, one example: https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/127/3447/ Unfortunately, it appears that they do not ship to the UK, but Dr. Google found this: https://www.raptorsupplies.com/b/mcmaster-carr-europe-uk-distributor I had the local welding shop do mine.

Lebro Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks Andy. Sourcing the UN8 nut is the only problem I will have. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
