Stupid question:
What have some of you fabricated to pull the axle shaft? Moderns axle puller kits are not made for this style shaft. I'm sure I am missing something as this should be simple.
I picked up a 7/8 nut, to fit the axle, and welded it to a smaller one to fit my slide hammer. I've had no luck yet. My slide hammer may not be heavy enough and my welds certainly are not good enough as they keep breaking.
Also, its supposed to be up near 60 here on Saturday so I planning to paint some suspension parts. I was afraid it would be April or May before I could anything painted.
