Constructed from high-strength steel with a reinforced backing plate and corrosion-resistant surface treatment, the tool fits 5-, 6- and 8-lug bolted hubs and uses standard flange nuts to clamp to studs, allowing safe percussion removal with a hammer.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the STMGW 8629 protect the axle while removing the hub?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe tool clamps to wheel studs so force is applied to the hub assembly instead of the axle shaft, reducing the risk of shaft damage. Its reinforced percussion plate absorbs impact energy and spreads load over a larger area, which prevents localized deformation.\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamps to studs using supplied flange nuts — no direct contact with the axle shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4\" steel back plate distributes impact force evenly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReinforced percussion plate prevents hub burrs and shaft nicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vehicles and hub configurations will this puller work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThis puller is made to be universally compatible with bolted hubs commonly found on passenger vehicles, light trucks and trailers. Its adjustable mounting accepts 5-, 6- and 8-lug arrangements, so you can use one tool across multiple makes and models.\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal fit for 5, 6 and 8 lug bolted hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for passenger cars, light trucks and trailers with bolted axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with both OEM and many aftermarket hub assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you operate the STMGW 8629 safely and effectively?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nMount the tool to the wheel studs using the included flange nuts, confirm even seating, then use a 5 lb hammer to deliver controlled percussion blows to the reinforced plate until the hub separates. Always follow vehicle manufacturer guidelines and wear appropriate safety gear while working near rotating components.\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecurely thread flange nuts onto studs and tighten for even contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a 5 lb hammer for measured percussion impacts—avoid excessive force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect tool and hub after removal for damage before reassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and finish does the tool use for longevity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe STMGW 8629 is forged from high-strength steel with a black anodic oxidation finish that resists corrosion and impact wear. The bottom features a heavy 3\/4\" steel backing plate and a reinforced percussion plate to extend service life under repeated use.\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-strength steel construction for hard use in garages and shops\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack anodic oxidation surface treatment for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4\" steel back plate and reinforced percussion area for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\nWho is this for\n\nThe STMGW 8629 suits professional mechanics, fleet maintenance teams and experienced DIYers who remove bolted wheel hubs regularly and need a robust, reusable tool. If you work on multiple vehicles with different lug patterns, want to avoid axle damage during hub separation, and value a corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty design, this tool streamlines hub removal and reduces time spent fighting frozen assemblies.\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this puller damage my axle shaft?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the tool clamps to studs and uses a reinforced backing plate to transfer impact to the hub, protecting the axle shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does it fit 4-lug hubs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It is designed for 5-, 6- and 8-lug bolted hubs; 4-lug compatibility is not specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"STMGW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086705307806,"sku":"B0CD22F1WS","price":60.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/stmgw-8629-front-view.jpg?v=1785902219","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/stmgw-wheel-bearing-hub-puller-universal-5-6-8-lug-yellow-reinforced-percussion-plate","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
