Yes, very cool. I used to use a puller similar to that arrangement when I used to build machines out of brake discs. Mine just slipped inside the inner center hole and used a stop turned up against the top of the threaded rod studs passing through the bearing hub. It worked well, but there is no substitute for nicely placed jacking screws. :-)

Well thought out solution :-)

I also like your cooling fins (channels) cast into the rotors. Do you have a hole in the center of the rear disc to allow air to get in? If not, you might want to think about drilling some toward the center of the rear rotor. It has to be the rear rotor because in most instances the front rotor is blocked up by the prop that is installed.

Just a though.

Very nice project though. Thanks for sharing :-)
Have Fun!! RoyR KB2UHF
