leomara Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I believe what wmsue posted under technical is correct 2 3/8 at 16TPI, but check you rear hubs to be sure they are that thread size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDevil Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Here is the nut I found. Threads are correct and it is 4" across flats. You should be able to use a 2 or 3 jaw puller to complete things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 It must be made of some pretty gnarly steel to be able to put 250-300 #/' of torque on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Another way to skin the cat, I like it! I bet that nut contraption is harder to find than a conventional wheel puller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Need one of these, weld it to the nut, then a nut and bolt to put pressure on the end of the axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Blue devil, you can try using a 3 jaw puller on the big nut shown below. If you are lucky the hub might pop off, but you are more likely to brake the 3 jaw puller. In 2014 after Hershey I bought remains of a G70 for the differential, the wood wheels were still attached but the wood spokes were rotten, so we used a 3 legged puller behind the hub flange. The hubs would not budge and we broke the pullers legs. A second 3 legged puller was bought and only by luck and a big hammer did we get them to come off. The screw onto the hub puller can put much more force than a 3 Jaw one and is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
