Any chance of scanning the Alpine tools and adding that to the Tech pages?
Dan Dale at dales restorations told me how to make a hub puller. Use a square of 1/2 inch steel plate 4 tube type lug nuts and 4 grade 8 bolts. Drill holes in the steel in a 4.25 inch circle Loosen the hub nut. Screw the tube nuts to the wheel studs insert the grade 8 bolts through the plate into the tube nuts. Torque the bolts evenly and in stages up to the lug nit torque of 48 F pounds. The hub should pop off if it is sticking give the center of the steel plate with a dead blow hammer.Interesting picture of Pullers. Recent posting of where a fellow member made the purchase of a puller for the rear hub removal looks very similar to these:
