I also think that I have a pretty good picture in my mind of what was
described. I will probably be trying it in about a month or so. If all
goes well, I will take some pictures and send them to everyone.

I had to pull the hubs on the back of a TR7 a few years ago. It took a
huge amount of force and heat from a torch before they popped apart. It
always makes me a little jumpy waiting for the "bang". I hope my TR3
hubs come apart as easy as described using Ken's technique!
