Abstract: A hub puller kit for pulling hubs off of power ends of frac pumps, and a method of removing a hub from a pinion shaft of a power end using the hub puller kit. The hub puller kit has an adapter flange formed out of a monolithic body with fastener openings, and a hydraulic actuator coupled to the adapter flange. The adapter flange has a stepped surface formed on a first surface and a recessed surface formed in a second surface, and a central opening having a threaded flange portion that extends from the stepped surface to the recessed surface. The hydraulic actuator has a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic plunger disposed at least partially within the hydraulic cylinder, and a threaded actuator portion that engages the threaded flange portion to couple the hydraulic actuator to the adapter flange.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to hub puller kit apparatus and methods, and associated components thereof, for pulling hubs off of power ends. In one example, the hub puller kit apparatus and methods are used to pull a hub off of a power end of a frac pump.

Abstract: A system facilitates identifying service providers capable of performing services for users and enable the pricing and scheduling of services to be performed by the service providers. A user submits a service request including a service description and optionally service constraints such as a required service location and service time. The system matches the service request with service providers potentially suitable for performing the requested service. The system sends bid solicitations to matched service providers, who may then respond with requests for additional information or bids. The bids are presented to the user, who then selects the bid best suited for his or her needs. The service provider associated with the selected bid is notified of the user's selection, thereby scheduling the service. A social graph associated with the user may be used to assist users in selecting bids.
