I need to do a hub-pulling type operation on a small piece of equipment that is not made to be taken apart, so no purpose-made anchor points. There are 8 off , 1mm tapped holes with 5 threads per hole , in the aluminium available (used for undemanding normal fixing to the chassis) , if I drill a plate to take 8 screws . The only screws of that thread I have are brass, probably preferable to steel anyway. For a similar hub-pulling where there was purchase , after heating (limited as to amount that can be used ), required about 4Kg of force to extract. Would
4Kg , assuming even distributed loading over the 8 screws be above or below the stripping force ? I found these sites but not applicable for my purpose it would seem- posted
