A front hub dust cap extractor for Austin Healey cars is a specialized tool used to remove the threaded or press-fit grease (dust) cap from the front wheel hub without damaging it.

In classic Austin Healey models (BN1 to BJ8), the front hub dust cap is slightly different from modern cars. Many models feature a threaded stud in the center of the dust cap, designed specifically for tool-assisted removal.

• The dust cap protects the front wheel bearings by sealing grease inside and keeping dirt/moisture out.
• On many Healey hubs, the cap has a 5/16″ threaded stud.
• The extractor tool threads onto this stud and allows you to:
  • Pull the cap straight out
  • Avoid bending or crushing the cap (which is common with pliers or screwdrivers)
