Mark; I have had to remove my force one hub on my 1835 Turbo VW a couple of times in the past.
I built a puller out of .25 inch steal that had the prop hub bolt pattern on one end and a hole in the center large enough for the hydraulic jack ram to fit against the hub bolt. I bolted the puller to the prop hub using all six prop holes and a half round backup steel plates to reinforce the force one prop hub and placed the 12 ton hydraulic jack in the middle of the steel puller box, that I had welded up, and then loosened the prop shaft center bolt several turns to give some clearance and then used the jack to press the hub off the crank shaft. The hubs require a large amount of pressure to press them off and this set up does a nice job, be prepared for the hub to ALL OF A SUDDEN POP with a LOUD bang when it lets go! Otherwise it will scare the devil out of you! Hope this info helps! Signed Parley Byington Vietnam era veteran N54PB Kr2 1835 Turbo VW Henderson Nevada > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
