dea being, weld the through threaded piece to a home-made tool that
can be used to press axles out of hubs, etc etc. This would be similar
to a 3-hole axle puller except it would fit onto all five lugs like
the factory shop tool (subaru hubs are a bit prone to getting tweaked
out of shape with a 3-hole puller, hence the dealers get a nice 5-hole
puller).
So, why not weld an inexpensive 3-prong-er to a brake disk?

I've thought of doing so, or of making a load-spreading adapter, but
I've seen these be a real ******* to get loose, might be beyond the
capabilities of a low-cost one, and would take almost as much work to
ensure the load was really spread evenly.
