You can buy a 2 jaw puller with non adjustable arms cheap at Harbor freight. The space between the jaws is too small to fit the rear wire wheel hubs, so you have to grind or file the jaws to fit. Works good and it's not expensive. Sorry, I don't have the HF part number, maybe someone knows it. Keith
