what size and type of puller where you using...



i used a 3 prong 4" puller the first time and it wouldnt fit right on the 5-lug hubs, so i went and bought a 3/2 prong 6" puller and it worked fine in the 2 prong configuration... it came off with ease.

Where did you get the 6" puller from, cause i was using a gear puller(I know bad idea) I really didn't think it was going to be this hard to get off.
