Hub puller needed for rear-end rebuild

There’s always this DIY option:

Quote:

Cut a 1/4" or greater thickness steel plate that will just fit inside the wheel knock-off. Drill a clearance hole in the center of the plate and knock-off for at least a 6" length of 9/16 or better yet 5/8" medium or high strength fine threaded rod. Weld a high strength nut to the steel plate. Turn on a lathe the end of the rod so it centers in the center hole of the spline you will be pressing. Put 2 back-to-back nuts on the other end of the rod. Grease the threads and the end of the rod. Install the plate and knock-off on the hub. The spline was assembled with some kind of glue or sealer, so heat hub to at least 250F, yes grease will be dripping all over the place… then use an impact wrench to tighten the puller. McMaster Carr is a great place to get all this stuff.
