Good tip but for those of us with the Hex nut spinners, the hub extraction tool will have to do.....

If you've fitted the hubs correctly, Paul's excellent puller stands no chance of success without heating them first.

Alex,

You would need about 15 mins at 100?C in order to get a reasonable soak.

20 mins with the blow torch should be sufficient to get them off. Thick gloves being the order of the day, of course.
