Can’t get upright and hub apart

[Bob Coury]

Not the first time I have done this on a street or race car, but I cannot get the front upright separated from the hub or the lower arm. Propane heat, LPS, and pullers. I am concerned and I’m going to break something. Any tips before I do?

Thanks,
Bob

It looks to me like you have the puller center on the stub axle, and then pulling against the hub. On these hubs the stub axle is screwed in from the back, so a traditional puller won't work. Kevin at Comprent makes a nice Vandiemen hub removal tool. Others likely do too.

I am glad I have a Citation. They just come right off with very minor persuasion.
