I need to find a completely destroyed clock and grind thru the hand hubs and find out how they are attached. Maybe this will lead to finding a way to get them apart non-destructively. Your 2 teaspoon method sounds quite reasonable. I actually bought a clock hand puller, but I only broke the puller. ;-p -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
