Rear Axle Tool

[kano]

Greeting to all,
Trying to install rear axle seals in mf 265. In the Philippines and find myself in a bind. Only tool to pull plantary from axle shaft is in manila(one Hour flight north)and not available. Can someone give a description,measurements,photo?so can manufacture same here at machine shop? Know Odds are bad but can only ask. Thank you in advance for any input. Suggestions welcome.
Have a great day.

Hi Joe,
There are no diagrams or photos available that I am aware of. If you have a FULLY EQUIPPED machine shop nearby take the hub to them and ask their opinion on how they would go about making a puller. One of the problems is how to attach the puller due to the three-sided design. I would suggest that you think in terms of using something like a 50mm diameter fine thread screw. Remember you will need to have the planetary unit correctly attached to the puller so that there is no risk of bending or breaking it. There is no guarantee that it will work even then.
It is likely to be very expensive to fabricate.
If the puller is available why not have both sides done, make the trip and arrange to have them done while you wait.
