TommyS Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Dear Chrysler Readers,I have a 1948 Royal that needs brake work, any ideas as to where I might find a "Drum Puller" seems like no one knows what they are anymore.I removed the wheel, cotterpin, washer, and released the emergency brake, and even bumped it with a rubber mallet, no cigar.I did a brake job on my other '48 Royal in '79 and I thinkI just pulled the drum off by hand. Any ideas as to where I might find a C-675 tool (Universal Wheel and Hub Puller)?Tom Skinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brian Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I don't know if Owatonna Tool co is still in business, but they made a really good hub puller. Tools are branded as "OTC" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 You should be able to rent a 3 jaw universal puller. Get the kind with bolt holes in the jaws.Some auto parts stores rent them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyS Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Rusty,I tried about 12 places this week, no pullers that would work for rent.I even tried about 4 Pawn Shops, plenty of damn good cheap tools there for anyone looking, but no hub/wheel pullers.Good news is that e-bay has a ton of them cheap (under a hundred, w S&H included).So I guess its e-bay to the rescue.Tom Skinnermot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I just bought an older drop forged made in USA puller on EBay for $75. They are out there........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The only reason I suggested renting or borrowing a puller is because you need one so seldom. It hardly seems worth buying one if you can find one to rent.But if you can't, for $75 bucks I guess it's a good deal. After all you will save that much and more, on your first brake job.

TommyS Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 I got one yesterday on e-bay for $74 with S&H,so i guess its brake work this weekend. I will clean up leaf springs, and lubricate while down in the area also.Tom(mot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
