Just measured internal threads on my standard Austin hub puller and the 1 3/8" x 16 tpi die that I have for refreshing the hub threads. Both measure 1.298".
Hi Colin, Perhaps I should have been clearer; hub thread as in the rear hub nut; the one that retains the LJ 1 1/4 bearing on the rear casing on all the pre heavy rear axle cars. As you say, the hub puller thread is 1 3/8" x 16 TPI.
