Hi Alpiners,
Last wednesday we were able to remove the rear axle hub of the Alpine.
It wasn't an easy job, first we tried a normal puller with tree arms
this one jumped off, another bigger one with two arms didn't work either then we
borrowed one from a friend who made a good addition on it: an extra adjustable clamp to keep
both arms together which tend to jump off when you fasten the puller.
That one worked, when we torqued it up pretty heavy and hit the centre with a heavy
hammer.
We didn't use the chain trick, as I was wondering it might harm the axle or bearing as
there's no contra force on the axle then is there ?
Could that harm anything ?
Thanks for all the tips and hints
