Guest 27oldcry Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looking for wheel puller for 27 chrysler 70. The hub diam. is 2 3/8" and the thread is 16 per inch 30 pitch. I have talked to a machine shop and he will build one, that may be the best I can do. Thanks, JGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The puller in this ad works on most passenger car hubs from 20's & 30's as well as later models. The ad is from an OTC (Owatonna Tool Co) but I think Sears Roebuck even carried this type tool.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WKnighter Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 George McMurtry makes the best pullers I have ever seen. He made one for me a few years ago. (gmcmurtry@embarqmail.com)Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I didn't see that it said "Wood Spoke Wheels", then you need the hub gripper type tool to use with the puller tool. Usually they have been on the axle for 50 years or more and require super pulling power and a little heat from an acetylene torch to expand the steel hub and loosen it from the threads.The attached photo shows the set up it took to pull the rear hubs on my 1928 Studebaker Commander to get at the brakes inside. The 3/4" steel hub thread gripper was made by a machinist in NY through another friend and I don't know his name but the name mentioned in the other response to this thread is a good resource.Note the 1/4" steel plate behind the hub gripper to use the OTC 3 arm puller, you will need a lot of pulling power to break the hub loose and striking the OTC tool shaft on the end with a heavy mallet is the kind of shock that does the job.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that your contraption would work, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have two in my shed and both are larger (1.5 & 1.625 both 16tpi). I'll keep an eye out, but a new one may be the easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Had to go back in the photo files a few years to find the photos of the rear hub puller tools shown in the previous post all attached to the hub. These show each tool more clearly.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 27oldcry Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for all the help, I took the wheel I got off to a machine shop and had one made. I took a lot of torque and a big hammer but it came offThanks to allJGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi All,I am glad JGG was able to get a puller made locally, but I have to echo Larry's advice. If you or anyone else you know ever needs a custom puller,George McMurtry (gmcmurtry@embarqmail.com)is the man! Skilled, creative, old school craftsman, fellow car enthusiast, and one of those people you will feel blessed to have met.Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
