What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Hi Nick

If you are referring to separating the outer hub from the half shaft I have resorted to putting the axle in a workbench with the half shaft pointing upwards. Then hit it with a sledge hammer.

I remember the first time I did this on an axle that had been standing for 50 years. I started with gentle taps then ended with a fully fledged over the head thwack. Yes I mangled the thread on the half shaft.  The second time I did more to protect the half shaft thread but it took less effort to separate the taper.

Seals available from cherished suppliers, often next day delivery  Smile.

Cheers

Howard
