Hi
I just finished my 67 112 and within 2 weeks naturally one of my rear wheel seals goes out!!!! Now I need to pull the hub, so I get my puller and start on it and it doesnt budge, so I threw a little WD-40 on it and tried it again, still nothin. I decided to get my porto power and try that and It still wont budge. So since I am pretty good with my transaxle I decided to pull everything apart except for the differential. Now all I got is the axle in there and I tried my puller, and my porto power and still got nothin. The stupid thing wouldnt budge with 10 tons of pressure, and with my luck I pulled the snap-ring of on the other hub and with a tap of my mallet it came off!!!!!! Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing off? Its really startin to give me a headache.
Thanks

I always find that impact works better than pure pull (or push).

A simple puller with a bolt that you can hit with an appropriate amount of hammer is my answer.

This is my hydraulic press.

It looks like a wood splitter (it will do that also!!), but, its main intent was a hydraulic press that I can hit the end of with a sledge hammer.

That is a piece of 1/2" wall tube where the splitting wedge can also be inserted.

Get a bigger hammer!!
