All good suggestions and I'll play some tonight. The nut is off and there is not another on there so I'll try the tapping and spraying approach. If I can grab some welding time at my buddies I might ask him to put together a simpler puller for me. I was thinking a square piece of metal just bigger then the 4 screw holes. Drill out those 4 holes and then one larger hole in the center of the metal. Finally, weld a nut over the center hole for the actual bolt that would press against the shaft and do the pulling. Use 4 bolts and attach this plate the the hub and gently screw in the center bolt against the shaft to press this off. Now referring back to J-Mech's reply about this being alum is my idea ok or would this approach put to much stress on these alum threaded screw holes?
