Hub Pulling

I am upgrading my Midget 1500 rear brakes to discs and have just spent the whole day trying to get the laft hub off and back on. I use the half shaft trick to pull the hub off (well half off) but getting it back on is a different matter. Has anyone got any tricks of the trade?

I have asked our guru to post a reply.
From what I have heard it should come off quite easily, a cousin's husband did his with out difficulty, it was a later model, rubber bumper, would that have any significance at all. I will ask him later this week and come back to you.

Thanks Willie! I have managed to get both off and back on with a little muscle. In the end I used the lock nut.

Good, I had actually forgotten to make the enquiries my apologises
