I need to remove the hub from my Gipsy major 10 engine. This requires a special puller specific for this job.
I have never seen the tool, so I cannot describe it, but would there be a chance that someone here may have such a tool?
and if so can they post a photo of what the tool looks like? and dimensions?
I am hoping to either be able to make one, or rent one, or buy one.
Thanks

Thanks very much for all the suggestions,
based on the information I have managed to arrange the loan of the correct tool, and also drawings to have one made for future use and inspections.
I was quite certain that the expertise was here, and I was not dissapointed.
Cheers!

If you’re near Langham, Norfolk, Henry Labouchere has one.

10-1 or 10-2 ?? Tapered or splinned crank. Vintec may be your best bet. For a tapered crank the tool threads up the inside of the hub and pushes on the end of the crank to push the hub off. I used to have a tool, someone borrowed it and never brought it back and then moved to NZ!!!
