Ok Mitch, and everybody, Photo on far left is without using original washer but the ARP nut has the same diameter as the washer. Also there is room for cotter pin. Photo on far right is using the washer but no room for cotter pin. Both ways are using all the threads of the ARP nut. Photo #3 shows the rear puller that caused all my grief on the left. On the right is a work of art made by Mitchel in Cal. I think same people that make the overdrive transmission. It can pull both styles of hubs. Last photo needs no explanation but I am not going to be ready for Xmass parade.

I vote for no washer.. The nut will be further up threads and you still have the cotter pin hole without drilling the nut. The cotter pin is not to stop the nut from coming loose, but to prevent it from spinning off..3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Page 290 in the service bulletins..
Remove the nut and turn it around so the castles are pointing inwards. This prevents swelling and deformity of the axle ends when using the puller

Thanks Mitch, that will work with the new puller, but not the el-chepo $30 puller that I was using Because the axle must go up into the puller with no room for a nut. The problem is you cant see what is going on with the end of the axel. Would just like to put out an alert to folks not to use the cheap puller. Bob

I have this hub puller made by Mitchell. It's a little more than $30, but has been well worth the price paid. It will work with both styles of hubs up thru '48.You do not have permission to view this gallery.
