ABS Ring on Front Hubs 1989 DJ 2.1 Auto

Before l remove road wheel and disc, does any fine forum friend have the external diameter of the ABS ring please? Tip of tooth to tooth.
I may have to make a home made puller.

They aren't that tight but they are brittle.
Warm 'em up gently and evenly, blow torch should suffice then lever them off.
If you use a puller on the outer edge you'll flex 'em and they'll probably go ping.
Try and use an angled bar and lever then from as close to the centre as you can.

Okay and thanks Simon.

I have a quality blowtorch, and three long motorcycle tyre levers from my motocross days of yore.
That should do the trick.

Success

Soaked rotors in Citroen (my fav penetrating oil) hydraulic suspension fluid overnight. Slightly warmed with blowtorch. Then used a soft metal drift through the wheel bolt holes and gently knocked off.
Thanks to all
