Quick rear hub question

I bought the correct type of puller ($60 on Amazon) like you guys recommended and it came right off. The other side had a new cotter pin and it slid off when I was just getting started. PO must have done something to that side. Lesson learned - use the correct tool.

 I did end up buying a new hub 🙁 . Luckily the stub was undamaged.

Bent as an S hook.

I refreshed mine last year and one of them was a nightmare. Hub got every so slightly bent.

I put it in a metal lathe and got it straight again.

Car wont be running for at least 2 more years so dont know if it'll be an issue yet 😛

Perhaps you could use it as an ashtray now ?

I was expecting the same fights as mentioned earlier and as such got the hydraulic option on hot standby.  I am almost embarrassed to say that mine came off with a couple of blows from a dead blow hammer. 

I'm hoping that is what will happen with mine. I will have a puller on standby though 🙂

I have this setup
Homemade puller used in conjunction with the HAZET hydraulic insert.
It's totally easy to get anything off with the hydraulic thing.

Great looking tool! 
 

Can you post a picture of the hydraulic portion that does the work ?

This is the old hazet hydraulic thing.
You clamp it between spindle and the part and turn the small screw on the side. when youve used the ~3/8 inch of travel you turn the small screw back and re-tighten the spindle of the puller and start over

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
