Default RE: Saito 82a Ceramic Bearing Failure
just rebuilt a Mag 91 that has the taper hub setup. I found a large flat washer with a hole the size of the small diameter and just cut a slot in it to fit the grove. You have to file an angle on the edge to mate the angle on the hub. Just a ffew minutes work when you find the right washer. You can then use a cheap 3 jaw puller and pop the hub right off.

The first photo shows the finished product and the second shows the hub. Notice the taper on the back side, The tool will need to be filed to fit that taper. Interestingly, I fit the tool to the hub on my Mag 91 four stroke, The hub in the photo is a brand new replacement hub for the same engine, and the tool would have to be filed down more to fit it.
