I think I stopped just shy of busting the puller. I also used the knock-off puller from snyder's.

I think I'll try the "driving with a 'loose nut' method first (actually my wife says I have been doing that forever, LOL) If that doesn't work, I will order the Snyder Hub Puller.

Appreciate your help as usual.................Whew, sure is hot at 100+........... Always said I like SNOW better.....

Throw the knock-off puller away before you ruin the threads on the axle. Buy the reproduction KR Wilson puller, expensive but cheaper than an axle.
