aamigia, yup I can see how that would work and I tried it. I had 2 problems. First, the 80 has a big u-joint and even a 32 mm socket does not fit comfortably over the race hole so you have to keep checking to see if the lip of the big socket is blocking the movement of the bottom race. a bigger hub socket would work but my 54mm hub socket was too big to fit inside the jaws of the c clamp and you might need an 8" c-clamp instead of 6" to get it down. Second, the c-clamp just didn't move the races. nothing happened when I tightened even using a pair of vice grips to tighten the clamp handle, compared to pounding the 22m socket with a brass hammer which took about 20 seconds a side to get'er done.

Anyway, didn't work for me but I can see how it would work, especially if you have the better kind of c-clamp with a six sided end to the threaded rod so you can tighten it with a wrench.
