Where are you? I might let you borrow my BLMC puller, it's a special job
that threads on in place of the KO and then has the center screw to push
on the end of the spindle. There are two pullers, one with coarse
threads ('68+ MGB and TR) and the other with fine for MGA and back. Each
puller has right and left hand threads and is merely reversed depending
on the side you are working on.
Be GLAD you can't get the hub off! in too many cases the bearings and/or
spindle are worn and the hub can be pulled off. That's BAD, they should
be a tight fit and can take a lot of effort when in good shape. Jarl
