removing rear hubs for hydraulic brake refurb

[Robert Leigh]

I think you will find that doing your replacement without removing the hubs will not work. For this a proper Austin 7 puller is required. When using it make sure that the hub threads are in good order so that the puller goes home fully. If the threads are poor they must be cleaned up with a die which most people don't have or with a thread file which many of us do have. I emphasise that the puller  should be properly fitted to the hub. If not you are in danger of making the hub threads worse and of damging the threads in the puller which will render it u/s. Seperate the outer half from the inner with care, and after this the big nut holding the bearing must be removed, allowing the inner hub and bearing to be removed, giving you the space you need for hydralic cyinder replacement.
