Used this trick today. You don't have to use a full on oxy torch. Got mine done with a yellow can MAP torch from Lowe's as my oxy torch tanks were empty. Beats grinding 2 notches and using a puller. 23 years of automotive service and still learning something new every day to make life easier.

Hmmmmm....ok, ok. I'm on this next time... Thank you sir!

Eric the hotter the flame the better it works. If you have a cutting torch that's the best way to go. My name it Justin. I'm the creator of the group you recemtly joined, Automotive Diagnosticians. I hope this trick saves you time in the future. It would be awesome to feature it in a video one day.

@@BLACKSSG85 I have a nice rosebud for the torch, def gonna give it a try :)

[@hamfisted759]

What! You're a genius!

[@alexb0i]

WTF did I just see...I am mind fucked and amazed at how fast and easy this is

[@FixItYerself]

genius. I'm planning on using an electric torch after freezing the hub since I don't have a cutting torch lying around.

[@JuanFernandez-zv2oz]

This might be fine for most cars, but in racing, or other extreme duty applications, avoid this, as it can de-temper (anneal) the hardened steel, or alloys present in the hub assy. Neat trick tho. I dig it.

[@BLACKSSG85]

Juan Fernandez the hub only gets warm to the touch doing this. only the race gets hot. this will not anneal the hub

[@Maerra7]

Genius.

[@sukhwang4554]

Whats used here? 3/8 extension and ? I am so amazed. No more hammering god bless you man

[@BLACKSSG85]

황석 two 6 inch long 3/8 extensions. Two half inch sockets, one for the hub to sit on has to be smaller than the race so it falls past it, in my case a 27mm short, and the other is a 17mm deep in the center to allow the hub to spin nicely

[@sukhwang4554]

BLACKSSG85 oh my god. I just realized why you used 2 extensions. You are genius.

[@BLACKSSG85]

For best results, make the flame as hot as possible
