hub removal.
4.2.1. With a copper head mallet, strike the ram head
square on the end to overcome any residual
adhesion of bearing and stub axle and initiate hub
removal. Strike the ram again if required.
4.2.2. Observe the decrease in the "slide gap". Rotate the
threaded force screw barrel clockwise to increase the
gap back to 5.5mm again.
4.2.3. With caution repeat actions from 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 until
the hub pulls off the stub axle. Alternatively, if the hub
is not "seized" a 30mm A/F spanner can be used to
slowly extract the hub at 1.6mm per turn.
4.2.4. Remove from the vehicle by releasing the chain
snap and remove the hub from tool.
4.2.5. Disassemble and clean tool components with a
lightly oiled cloth before storing as a complete set of
