MG MGA - Useful tool

I had to take the front WW hub off (don't ask why)and was faced with the task of removing the cotter pin from the wheel nut. Well it got in a position where I could not straighten the pin legs through the hole in the splined hub. So I made an extractor using a 5/16 bolt.
Worked great. See pic

Absolutely superb idea!

Excellent

I sincerely hope you are not going to reuse the split pin! (not a cotter over this side of the pond)

I don't even bother - just put the socket on the nut and undo, it cuts the split pin head & tails off then you con drive out the remainder of the pin once the hub is off.

Another good touch, Art.

Great idea, I usually cut the bent legs of the split pin with side cutters, but it's fiddly, I shall use your puller next time.

Cheers
