    I saw the thread about what people were bringing.  I thought it needed a companion--what I am looking for.

     

    For me--I need right quarter and right side outer wheel house for '64/ 65 Falcon Sedan

     

    Others please chime in--peoiple may be deciding what they will bring and what they will leave home.  I'd hate to find a vendor who left "my" part "back home in Ohio...

     

    This Thread is a great idea lots of people looking for your parts

    Some replies remind me of when i was a young lad writing my santa list

    anyway good luck on your searches for those hard to find parts

    I may have a puller for sale but will have to check. It came to me labelled as being for '28 Chrysler and looks like it was shop built. If it will work, you can have it for a nominal fee plus shipping. 

     

    Thank you for your kind offer but now I have seen the picture of the tool I have started to make one thank you once again

    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 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.

    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
