I've got a busted stud on the rear wheel and the garage are struggling to get the hub off to replace. Any tricks or tips on how it's nb est done. Graham |

Remove it with the halfshaft and then use a big press; they normally go with a bang! |

Do you have to take the hub off to replace a rear hub stud on a sprint as on the 1500 and 1850 you can just tap out the wheel studs towards the brake back plate? |

Unfortunately the guy who owns the garage doesn't want to pull the shaft and press the hub off, he wants to use a hub puller. Does anybody have a recommendation for a tool? I see there are Herald/Spitfire ones, and I know that's the same PCD. Would one of them fit, or is there another option? Graham |

Churchill made one up to the job, but with a conventional 3 leg he'd be wasting his time...and most likely the puller too! |

If he uses a non-churchill type hub puller I would say he will 99% scarp the hub (though not admit to it) Trouble is that with the churchill puller you need all 4 studs in position. Catch 22. Take it somewhere else? |

The suggestion there is that the Herald one needs modifying. At £100 (inc p&p and some other bits) I'm not sure its a cost effective option compared to pulling the halfshaft. But might it fit with a wheel spacer on the hub first, and if so, how thick?Graham |

This is the way I've always done mine. I can't see you doing it any other way unless you have the correct puller.
