Re: IML: Hub Puler for tapered axles

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

The safety of this isn't the number of legs attached to the puller, but 
rather being certain that the axle nut is installed to keep the drum 
from suddenly breaking free from the car with high force.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about removing the rear 
drums on
my '62 and provided information about hub/drum pullers.

I located a suitable one, No. OTC 7394 and extra legs No. OTC 32937 at 
an
on-line tool company, etoolcart.com.  The unit is similar to a Snap-On 
Tool No.
CJ129A, but about $10 less for the basic tool (extra arms add more).  I 
did not
get a good response from the Snap-On Tool representative I was referred 
to.  He
seemed to believe I did not know what I was asking for (did not 
understand that
these older cars require pullers to get the drums off).  The tool is 
made by the
SPX Tool Co., who bought Miller Special Tool Co. back in the early '90s.

The extra legs for the puller will help keep the pressure applying bolt 
well
centered and make the job safer as a result.
