Hub Spreader

Hi I was just wondering if you definitely need a hub spreader to get the dampers out of the front hubs or whether there was another way?

just a sump plug key or an allen key

 

often enough they just slide off without though.

Soft hide mallet will normally knock the upright down off the damper without too much hassle.

Agree with the above although when reluctant I have found that driving a small chisel/bolster into the gap with the pinch bolt removed helps a lot

I find a whack from a club hammer works perfectly well
