Or, just put three thick pieces of metal behind the hub. Then screw in the fan bolts to pinch the metal between the bolt and the case, and tighten each bolt about a half-turn at a time. (You can use other bolts of the same size, of course.) That'll push the hub off. There's a Woodruff key behind it (a half-moon key) that will drop out and get lost almost instantly, so be prepared for that.
For the pieces of metal, the Cap'n recommends "church-key" bottle openers. I used fender washers, with the bolt end resting on the solid area of the washer rather than going through the hole. The point is to spread out the load so you don't damage the crankcase. --DD |
