4. Press the hub out. It is suggested to do this operation with a hydraulic press. Pictures below shows
the procedure using a TATUUS’ special tool available upon request (ref p/n 3391005).
To avoid buckling and misalignment problems the procedure should be done with the pins as short
as possible in the very first phase of stroke. Once the first part of extraction stroke switch to longer
pins and complete the extraction. Different lengths of the pins should be used during the extraction.
Do not heat the upright assembly before removing the hub. Cooling the hub (only the hub) before
pressing out, i.e. filling it with dry ice, could make the extraction easier.
