FYI, the thread size of the front hub is different to the rear hub. Well, it was on my '28 series 62, most likely the case with the series 72
Hi maok you are correct they are different front 2 1/2 x 16 tpi rear 2 3/8 x 16 tpi

I believe what wmsue posted under technical is correct 2 3/8 at 16TPI, but check you rear hubs to be sure they are that thread size.
Thank you leomara I have just been in the garage to measure and that is correct

I don't know thread size but here is a common hub mounting drum puller. A Kent Moore common to many makes, especially those that used early Motor Wheel brand brake drums with Lockheed Wagner brake systems. Threads on the hub, then tighten the pinch bolt to get a strong grip on the hub threads to reduce chance of stripping them. Then tighten the pushing bolt against the end of the axle shaft.

Thank you its good to see the actual tool required

I don't want to come across as a smart arse, but if you have the where withal to make one surely you have access to a set of calipers and a thread pitch gauge?
I am assuming from your post that you have or at least have access to a lathe. If you need the detail to have someone else do it on your behalf take a hub cap with you so they can measure it up.
No problem you are only saying it as it is and yes i have a lathe / calipers and a thread gauge

You need a puller that screws on to the threads of the hub if your car has them.If not you need a 3 jaw puller that bolts on to the lugs that hold the wheels on. Usually not a big deal but some can be stubborn, others practically fall off.
Does anyone know what thread the hubs on Chrysler 72 are to enable me to manufacture a puller

I have a 1928 Chrysler 72 with wood wheels I know how to remove wheel and tyre but not sure how to remove complete wheel does this require puller of some description

I do most of the work myself, and I was an old school trained mechanic which means we did mechanical repair and diagnosing as well as doing all the things associated with a machine shop, but if I was to do everything today, I would have to have twice the square footage for all the machines to do the jobs.
Of course, it bothers me that the automotive trade has been reduced to parts replacers who don't know a boring bar from a valve refacing machine. Not only is there a problem with mechanics/technicians, but also with the machinists or lack of. We're losing two trades.
Same here in the uk nobody wants to work on old cars. modern garages just want to scan the fault unplug the faulty part and plug a new one in
they would not know what to do with my 1928 Chrysler. Same goes for machine shops if they cant do it on the cnc machine they dont want to know

Dose anyone know if there is a company that reproduce thermostats for Chrysler 72

In the inexperienced hands a polishing machine can be dangerous
also if the trim has patches where the anodize has worn through the polishing mop will remove more material on the worn parts
so you need to have the hard anodize removed first to enable you to polish and keep the shape of trim

IS it feasible to turn whitewall tires round to show black wall
