Rear hub thread - damage

[Old Dave]

Sounds a sound idea Nick - I would chip in, but how would we administrate it??

The puller latches on to the thread and feels as though it might go further with a bit of persuasion. But I am not confident enough to risk further damage. The other side pulled off with little effort - probably not on tight enough.

This is the last real obsticle to getting the job finished now with just the parts in a box to rebuild, and the new spring laying on the floor ready to give me further frustration     - I can feel it!!!!

Thanks for all your suggestions
