Wheel puller

[Mark Sherman]

Dick: I bought a gearpuller at Sears this summer that does the job on my TD. Its a Craftsman GearPuller; part number 9-46903. It has just 2 arms and the plastic wrap states it is good for 0-8" spread but I had no problem pulling front and rear hubs off the TD. Think it was about $25.

About once a year, I need to pull off one or more of the front brake drums, and I always go down to my tool rental shop and rent an old fashion wheel puller. I am now trying to buy one, and have visted several tool shops, but can't find the old style. Let me describe what I am looking for. The wheel/brake drum puller looks like a 12" long bolt, with a 12" long bar with a nut in the middle. Hanging off the bar are sliding hooks, that can be hooked onto the side of the brake drum (180 degrees apart), and when the bolt is screwed in - the end is place on the end of the shaft the brake drum is attached to. It works great, and because it is adjustable, it can be used to pull a lot of other things as well... Does anybody have a tool like this for sale, or can recommend where to purchase one? I'm giving a tech session in 4 weeks, on front A-frame replacement, and need to get my drums off one more time.
