RE: Tapered Axle Hub Puller

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I bought my puller off of Ebay.  Can't remember just now but it is made 
by one of the major tool mfg's like Snap-On.  It was missing one of the 
legs and the ad said a replacement could be purchased.  I didn't check 
and later found out that wasn't true.  So I had to make a replacement 
leg.  Did this with a piece of 1/2" steel.  Works good.  I have always 
used the wrench behind the nut technique to pop the axles free, never 
had any trouble.
