Just my .02 worth.
I have spoken to a guy who has one of these tools and rebuilds hubs. He tells
me that you still must use some pretty hefty force to get this thing to work.
He says that he uses a 1" air impact wrench and 175 psi air pressure to tighten
the pusher bolt (?) and sometimes the hubs still won't come loose. My point
here is that you will also need a VERY hard bolt or all- thread rod for the
pusher and a casting material that is both tough and hard.
