You need to use a gear/hub puller on it.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Two wedges each side of shaft, thin ends inwards, between housing and base of prop, three by two against thick end on each side to enable g-clamp to exert even pressure on wedges. Leave nut loosely on shaft and lightly tap as you take up pressure on wedges.
