Vibrating wheel hub puller - GIF

[NeiljohnUK]

I used to repair Salsbury axles on Scimitars and the method which worked every time was to pour two kettles of boiling water over the hub which would then fall of the taper with a couple of blows of a copper mallet. Trick is to expand the hub before the heat gets to the shaft. Hydraulic puller methods can be a bit scary when they let go.

Thankfully I never had to do anything on my Scimi's axles (2x SE5, 1 x SE5a, 1 x SE6) but my 20lb slide-hammer was favoured for other vehicles.
