I have an I-6. Have never taken the hubs off the axle. When I got it, one of the axle hub retainer washers was missing and the bolt sheared off. I finally got that fixed, but I doubt driving it would ever loosen it to get the hub off the axle. What I have done though is take the rims off the hubs. They were rusted solidly in the about 1/16 inch clearance between the rims and the hubs. Took me 3 weeks to get the first one off. After that learning experience, 3 days for the second one. Anyway here is what I did and a similar thing might work for getting the hub off the axle. I got some heavy 2 x 2 inch square tubing with 3/8 thich wall. I cut pieces and drilled holes so that the ends of the tubing could bear against the back side of the rim and bolts could go through the holes for the rim clamps. After getting this setup with 8 bolts (actually hight strength all thread from the fastener store) and using lots of PB Blaster and a cheater on the 5/8 bolts, finally got the rims off. For your situation, I suggest using the hole in the hub that are meant for the wheel weights. That will mean using 4 bolts and two pieces of heavy steel tubing. Cut the tubing to length and drill holes to match the bolt circle of the wheel weight holes. Cut a length of heavy pipe or large round stock to bear on the end of the axle. Then install the heavy tubing using high strength threaded rods or bolts through the wheel weight holes. (Don't use all thread from a hardware store unless you know it is at least equivalent to grade 5 bolts) The square tubing needs to cross over the end of the axle and the pipe or round stock bear on the end of the axle. After you have this all set up, tighten the bolts evenly and you have a puller that should get your hub off. Use caution and heavy duty structural tubing, as you will be generating a lot of force. Hope this is not too confusing.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
