Update: picked up an older amf road bike the other day. Just had a couple little things to repair. Picked up some new spokes to replace some that were broken and a new axle to replace the original bent one. The bike frame calculator suggested a 22" frame, at 6'2" i guess I just have a long torso. This bike was one of very very few that had the correct size frame.
Question: I haven't been able to tinker too much since I've been busy with work, but I've got the rear axle out but not the hub with the sprockets on it. I need to take it off to replace the spokes. It looks like it's splined and sure enough I found a handy dandy tool for it, unfortunately that tool is $20 and only does that one thing for me. Is there any improvised tool that can be made to pull the hub? I was thinking maybe a big bolt with a couple nuts jammed together but I'm not sure if that will bite into the splines enough to turn it without messing anything up.
