Removing the LT1 hub??
I'm fixing a front cover oil leak, and I'm down to removing the hub... I figured a regular puller would do it, but the 3 outer bolts aren't big enough, and the center bolt is too big to get through the center of the hub, so it was pressing against the hub...
THe service manual says to "use tool J39046...blah blah..." should I call kentmore and get one of these tools, or is there any alternatives??? Someone must have ran into this before?? All help is apprieciated...

Re: Removing the LT1 hub?? (C-5 TECH)
Actually, unless the Y-body is different from the F and B's, we've pulled lots of LT1 hubs without the $$ Tool. Go to the local hardware store and get three bolts that are the proper size. Or, I think you can get one of those three jaw pullers that don't really need bolts.
Also, Not sure why this is in the C5 section...

ahhhh must have clicked on the wrong forum... I was wondering why I couldn't find it in the c4 section.... Thanks for the tips though, my dealer let me borrow his tool. He's nice guy, and he said just see him again when I go to install it.
