HiwowSport Wheel Hub Removal Tool Set for 5/6/8-Lug Hubs — 40100 Heavy-Duty Steel Puller Kit, Threaded Insert & Drive Plate

The HiwowSport 40100 Hub Removal Tool Set is a heavy-duty wheel hub puller kit designed to remove stuck or frozen bolted axle hubs for 5-, 6- and 8-lug wheels quickly and without harming the axle.

When a wheel hub is seized to the spindle, forcing it off can damage studs or axles. The HiwowSport 40100 set provides a controlled, mechanical method to separate the hub assembly from the vehicle using a drive plate, washers, a threaded insert and a screw assembly. Built from high-strength steel and finished to resist corrosion, this kit adapts to most common bolt-pattern hubs so you can service brakes, bearings or replacement hubs with less risk and less hammering.

How does the 40100 kit fit different bolt patterns?

The set accommodates the most common lug configurations—5, 6 and 8 lugs—by using the drive plate and included washers to secure against the hub face. You position the plate with the lug studs, secure it with the vehicle’s lug nuts, then add the washer stack to centralize the pull.

• Includes wash ers (40080) x2 that sit on stud threads for spacing
• Drive plate (40110) aligns with various lug arrangements
• Threaded insert (40090) centers the forcing screw when used on different hubs

What is the step-by-step operation for removing a frozen hub?

Operation is straightforward and avoids impact tools: bolt the drive plate to the hub with the vehicle lug nuts, place the washers and threaded insert, then tighten the screw assembly to press the hub free from the spindle. Applying a light lubricant to the threads before use improves smoothness and reduces wear on the components.

• Tighten lug nuts over the drive plate to lock it to the hub body
• Insert the threaded piece and washers to create a centered pressure path
• Turn the screw assembly against a solid contact point to extract the hub

Is the HiwowSport hub puller durable and safe for repeated use?

The tool components are forged from high-strength steel and treated to resist rust, giving mechanics a durable set that withstands the stress of extracting stubborn hubs. Using the tool correctly reduces the risk of bending studs, crushing axles, or damaging bearing surfaces compared with hammering or improvised pry methods.

• High-strength steel construction for longevity under load
• Corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain part tolerances over time
• Designed to apply controlled axial force rather than impact blows

What should I prepare and beware of before using this tool?

Preparation ensures a safe, effective removal: park on level ground, support the vehicle securely on stands, and remove the wheel and any brake components blocking access. Use penetrating lubricant on corroded hubs ahead of time and verify the screw assembly contacts a solid backing surface when extracting to avoid part slippage.

• Always support the vehicle with rated jack stands before starting work
• Apply penetrating lube to the hub and tool threads to ease extraction
• Confirm the screw faces a stable surface (spindle or backing plate) for pushing

Who is this for: The HiwowSport 40100 Hub Removal Tool Set is aimed at professional mechanics, independent repair shops and DIY enthusiasts who maintain passenger cars and light trucks with bolted axle hubs. If you regularly replace bearings, hubs or service brake and wheel assemblies, this kit gives a safer, repeatable method for freeing stuck hubs and protecting axle and stud integrity during removal.
