Re: I also have a vibration...

Scott,
 
I recommend you get the proper puller for tapered axles.  Trying to use something different likely won't work and will possibly damage your drums (been there, done that).  With the proper puller, it's a snap (and a loud pop!).  You should be able to find a new one for less than $175.  I bought mine from ToolTopia.com (which I don't need anymore), and it was cheaper than that.  It was worth it to have the right tool, though.

Subject: I also have a vibration...

My car also develops a noise/vibration at speed. Here's what I know:
The vibration is definitely coming from the rear; I think from the
left rear, specifically. The vibration doesn't really get any worse
with speed, but it changes pitch, and **it goes away if I turn hard
enough to the right, and doesn't seem to get worse if I turn left**.
I've changed the wheels and tires, not because of the vibration, but
it didn't make any difference. (I didn't expect it to, either.)

The guy I bought the car from said that noise/vibration was from the
differential, and that it was typical. He seemed to know what he was
talking about, as he owned several old Mopars. My opinion is that it's
a wheel bearing. Are the 8 3/4" rears typically noisy? Does it
indicate a problem?

Also, does anyone have an opinion on how to remove the rear drums on a
C-body? I'm having a hard time finding a tool that will work for a
reasonable price (not $175+). Even used, the pullers I've been looking
at are going for $80. I've got a big 8", 3-jaw puller, but I haven't
figured out how to get it to work on this project. If only I had
access to a machine shop, I'd just make a ring to fit over the lugs...

Thanks in advance!
