Need Help Quick!! Can't pull hub.

I am in the process of trying to the hub out and nothing will work. We have tried sticking bolts in there and putting the hub puller up to it but the heads keep bending. We also tried using "punches" but they are all either too long or too short. Please gimme all ideas, i am pretty frustrated. Jason

A longer 7/16-20 high grade bolt, threaded all the way in, using the head of it to push against with your puller.

No, try Lowe's...

Actually, a parts house like Autozone should also have it.

Actually, Lowes does have a pretty good selection of bolts. I did find some grade 5, 7/16-20 bolts there. Now if they just have one that is long enough...

I know, it is a shameless plug of where I work...

But I still think a parts store is the best bet. They have always had those oddball bolts I have needed. O'Reilly's is particularly good, but they aren't nationwide.
