I have yet to remove the rear hubs on either car, so have followed this thread with interest, but can I check my own thinking with them that knows please?
Taking on board everything said about separation of the two halves and condition of the threads for the puller to locate on, I would not expect to simply wind the hub off by tightening up the puller bolt. I would nip it up as tight as I could and then hit the puller bolt dead straight with a sledge hammer, the shock on a tensioned assembly making everything ping apart. Does this make sense, or am I likely to do more harm than good?
PS Thank you Reckless. Good timing!
