John, would you mind posting some pictures of your puller? Where does it attach? Many thanks, Koen Title: Re: Lambda 8th brakes Post by: JohnMillham on 21 April, 2019, 08:58:10 AM It fits in place of a wheel, having a right-hand thread in one side and a left-hand thread in the other.
Title: Re: Lambda 8th brakes Post by: Dikappa on 21 April, 2019, 11:47:24 AM Brilliant! That was what I was wondering about, the two threads....maybe a good addition to the consortium tools list? I just ordered the tool for the front suspension, and it is extremely well done for a very decent cost. I reckon if ten of these pullers where ordered in one go they could be made for very reasonable money...

What about asking one of the hub manufacturers such as Orson Equipment who show such a tool on their website.

Wonder what size the thread should be .

The bar was drilled through and a nut welded on!! A nice long bolt and the job was done!! Very simple and very cheap, what's not to like!!!!

Title: Re: Lambda 8th brakes Post by: the.cern on 03 June, 2019, 09:12:50 AM ...... where they might be? That is always a worry!!!!
