Well I got 2 sets of Tuffs with bent hubs, so the time came to change all that. Im not fussed on replacment hubs cause of the bolts. so had a go at making a puller. Made it out of the top of an old suspension strut off my golf and a large nut and bolt. It seems to work a treat and if you pull it out too far, a tap with a hammer and a lump of wood sorts it out. Just got to make sure its all level now and will see how it runs. Just thought I would share my new found skill of wheel repair, lol.  :D  The first pic is of how bent it was the last pic you can see how much better it looks. Lovely!!

Bob_Acid:
Yay, now we can all sell our bent hub tuffs for top dollar :D

Not sure i'd trust it riding though :)

Did a similar method then used them tuffs hard infact i did my one and only 540 tyre tap with said tuff with no probs at all ;)

Orb will be liking this post ;D

mivvi:
Yea, still plenty of strength there. Even though they use to bend, its strong alloy. Ok not as strong as fitting a new one, but would with stand some abuse I reckon. If Orb likes this, do I get a gold star for effort?  ;D

The-flying-banana:
Doubt it dude more like you wanna buy a dog ;D or his fav 12 his real mentality ;)
