Volvo Amazon P1800 Hub Pullers Available
 

Hi everyone. I have just started making hub pullers for the volvo amazon and p1800 if anyone is interested.

These hub pullers are of the highest quality and have been made using quality en8 steel. They are not made from any old steel welded up but machined from solid bar. The Body is welded to the flange and has been welded to the highest quality by a top quality engineering welder. The welding is grade one and looks like artwork.

You will not be disappointed with the quality, they are in my opinion better than any other puller on the market anywhere.

The five holes have been machine slotted out slightly to cope with different size hole centres for other vehicles if needed but they have been made to cope with the amazon and P1800. The threaded bar has a dimple on the end to locate in the centre of the half shaft to give positive location, although the force is still on the end of the threaded bar where it should be.

Included is a stainless steel extension pipe for that extra pull which is often needed.

I made one for myself and it looked that good and performed effortlessly I have now decided to commission more to be made. They are made on a cnc machine so all hub pullers will be identical.

I shall include some pictures shortely but for the time being they will be listed on ebay as from tonight if i get time.

As far as price goes i shall see what ebay has to say first as these are not cheap to produce, so i may end up making them for love rather than money.

All the best...Dean

Would be nice to have an idea on price. I'm lucky and abtained a very well made puller with one of my cars. The cheap pullers about at the moment are not upto the job of shifting a well stuck on hub.

As promised. The photos of the pullers. I slotted the holes out to cope with other cars that may be able to use this. The puller fits bang on in the middle of the slots and locates with only a couple of mm of play. Someone emailed me and thought that the puller would not seat centraly. This is not the case.

Lovely welds, looks like somebody who knew what they were doing built
that little gem! Price is not everthing, the way a tool looks and feels in one's hand and the ease with which it accomplishs the task means more to a lot of folks than just money. Snap On tools in the US puts out an extensive line of
mechanics tools that are really the standard of excellance. They are guaranteed for life and command a very premium price. They are also the tools you see more in pro workshops than any other. The guys who buy and use them aren't normally independently wealthy, just working guys who know that in the long run initial quality will out perform. Don't discourage a guy that
is taking the high road, I for one applaud the initiative.

Hi Dean,

Just a suggestion, you can get a 32 mm socket on the end of my hub puller, then you can use an air impact wrench.
Nice welding BTW. Shame I've allready got one. Maybe if the wife'd let me, I could get a couple for the mantle piece!

All the best,

Gordon

The problem with fitting a head on for a socet is it very quickly buggers up. To use the puller correctly you only put pressure on with thread and hit it very hard with a hammer to shock it off. Using only the turning force will stip the thread..

BTW what thread is used. The puictures look a little coars.

It would be great to get these into production

The thread on mine is fine after pulling many Amazon & P1800 hubs. You must have had a cheapo one for it to do this.
I use an air ratchet / impact wrench for dismantling cars and as it is available when taking the drums off, use it to wind the puller up to apply the appropriate pressure before whacking it with a hammer. Wasn't suggesting the use of turning force :-) ... Just being lazy.

That's a work of art, that is!
That's what I was thinking; the thread on the genuine article is a lot finer and I think larger diameter too.
