OK, understood.

The bearing race is in there as a bit of a snug fit. Hook a slide hammer to the axle somehow and the axle will come out with a few taps. You could reinstall the hub to the axle (reasonably tight), put your OTC puller back on without the center screw, and hook a slide hammer to the center of your puller.

My money says you will need new bearings as they have not likely been serviced in close to 35 years.

The caps between the civilian cylinders and the military cylinders are normally the same threads. I take it you are going to re-install the vent line?

Something that was often done was the ventline would get cut back about 3", a short stub of line would come off the cap, and a piece of fuel line would be installed in between. This was done by others mind you: I always put the proper ventline back on the cylinder.

BIG WARNING: make sure you have some measure of free play on your beake pedal rod. It should not be pushing on the cylinder when at rest. If it does, you will find that the fluid cannot return to the cylinder and the brakes will lock on.
