Product Information
Full details
The Universal Front Wheel Hub Puller Tool from B&Q is a highly capable asset for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike who perform regular maintenance on vehicles with independent front suspension. This tool excels at providing the mechanical advantage needed to safely separate hub assemblies and steering knuckles from drive axles without causing structural damage, though it requires existing lug nuts to function properly and may not be compatible with all non-standard, oversized, or deep-dish wheel hub configurations.

FAQs
Does this work on rear-wheel drive vehicles?
This tool is specifically designed for vehicles featuring independent front suspension.
Do I need special lug nuts to attach the tool?
No, the tool is designed to work with your vehicle's existing wheel studs and lug nuts.
Can I use an impact gun with this tool?
While it can withstand mechanical force, it is recommended to use hand tools to carefully monitor the pressure applied to the hub assembly.
How do I maintain the tool?
Keep the central screw clean and lightly greased. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface rust.
Will this remove a rusted axle?
Yes, it is designed to provide the necessary force to break loose hubs seized by corrosion, provided the mounting points are secure.
Troubleshooting
The tool will not sit flush against the hub.
Check that the wheel studs are not bent and ensure no debris is trapped between the hub face and the tool plate.
Pressure screw is difficult to turn.
Apply fresh grease to the threads of the pressure screw and ensure it is centered correctly against the drive axle.
Tool slips or wobbles during use.
Tighten the lug nuts evenly in a star pattern to ensure even distribution of force against the mounting plate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces the risk of damaging delicate steering and suspension components
- Provides a secure, centered attachment to the wheel hub
- Simplifies labor-intensive tasks for a single operator
- Sturdy construction capable of handling high-tension jobs
Cons
- Requires existing lug nuts to secure the tool to the studs
- Not suitable for vehicles without independent front suspension
- Requires manual effort and a wrench or impact tool to operate
- May have clearance limitations on certain high-offset wheel hub designs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands with the wheel removed. Align the tool's mounting holes with the wheel hub studs and secure them firmly using the vehicle's lug nuts. Ensure the central screw is well-lubricated with a high-quality machine grease before use to maintain smooth operation and prevent thread wear. For compatibility, verify that your vehicle uses an independent front suspension system and that the hub bolt pattern aligns with the tool's mounting plate. After each use, clean the threads of the pressure screw and apply a light coat of anti-corrosion oil to ensure long-term functionality.
