Howdy all, as you can see I'm attempting to remove the hubs from my Allis Chalmers TL-10 with little luck. Does anyone have any other ideas other than this? I am leaving it overnight with the jack putting around 2000# pressure on the puller but if that doesn't work then I am stumped. The brake pads aren't stuck to the hub, its only stuck on the middle shaft and I doubt it has ever been removed before. Unless there are any great ideas, I think I may have to heat the middle of the hub up with a rosebud and ruin the bearings and seal in there, but I sure hate to do that... Thanks, Allan Brown  |

krol oil it over night and use a spreader bar on your jack and chain will give you more pulling power and pull straighter. Then use a air chisal on the thick part of your hub. The vibration will help work the oil in and loosen the hub. You also could try a flat bar type puller that would jack off the center of the shaft. Tighten, then beat on the jacking bolt with a hammer ------------- Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game. Winston Churchill |

Make up a puller using 2 studs on each side to hold it to spread the force, use a center bolt against the axle end and crank as much force as you can , slight heat to center hub and then BFH on the bolt that contacts axle. About like removing a sprocket from crawler axle , lots of force and lots of words and some heat needed.
Then on my D6 it was rent a puller from Cat as nothing else worked. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." |

A pic of a strongback similar to what Coke described.

You got it , big fine thread bolt in the center and only thing missing is the BFH ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." |
