Reverse English Alfa Axle Bearing Puller Materials List
- About sixteen inches of 2x2"x1/4 angle steel (or similar)
- Four (4) rod-nuts (that's simply an extra long nut - aka "coupling nut") NOTE: Try to get rod-nuts with the same metric threads as your backing plate studs. Sorry, I can't recall what the metric thread size is at the moment - just take your OEM nut with you to the bolt store and match a rod nut to it. Or, do what I did and butt weld standard metric nuts to SAE rod nuts and use 3/8 - 16 x 4 3/4" long SAE bolts. I did this because I never could find metric coupling nuts. YMMV.
- Four (4) approximately 4 3/4"length bolts with threads matching the thread dimensions of the Alfa backing plate mounting nuts, if possible OR whatever coupling nuts you are able to find/fabricate...which is what I had to do. NOTE: IF you have to fabricate your own rod nuts, you will need a welder - see video for explanation of that.
- A good vise
- Hand or power hacksaw of some kind to cut the angle steel
- Drill or drill press and cutting oil, plus bed clamps or means to accurately hold the angle steel while you drill it.
- 25/64th or 13/32 drill bit
- Center punch to mark the holes
- The Harbor Freight 20 ton press (or similar)
Pressing pipes - Any pipe handy about 26-28" long and the diameter of 1 1/2" black iron pipe will work. As it says in the video, I used two 12" sections of 1 1/2" galvanized steel pipe screwed together with 1 1/2" NPTF couplings, partly because they fit the Alfa pressing collar really well...and partly because I already had them in my pile of pipe.
