Have you tried sticking the bolt in the middle of the puller with a largish hammer? The shock might be enough to do it.

No will have a go thanks for the reply

I meant Striking

Just winf the puller up so there is a fair bit of pressure and then strike the bolt on the puller sharply a few times.

have you tried it the olde way, hitting the tyre from the kickstart side?

Loads of heat will separate the different metals. Let it soak in WD40 when it's cold. Always have a fire extinguisher close by. It will come off.

Thanks for the reply’s Everybody I have got the hub off now plenty of heat and re-tapped the two bolt holes to M7 thread
Which ment the bolts on the puller didn’t rip out sorted.

as will your eye brows if you spray wd40 near a naked flame
