Just have nate make you a pully to fit the stg 2 hub, then you dont have to mess around with it.

To each their own...

I think intense, cobalt addiction, nate (smoothflow), and a couple others are selling removers but I can't recommend either one. I'm guessing you want to go lower than 2.7. They all should work but it might take some time and/or pb blasters to get it off.

I thought nate could do down to a 2.6 for the GM hub?

I'll try it again, I used a bit of heat but it wouldn't even budge a mm! If That doesn't work I'll try Nates puller and worst case I may cut it off!!

ZZP's puller. I put my hub on late at night (bad idea when you're half awake) and right after I put it on I realized it was on backwards. I bolted the stage 2 pulley on to the hub and used the puller to pull the whole thing off and then put it back on the right way.

I don't think there's enough clearance for it but you should ask him.
