Guest chrome jet Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I have a 31 60 series and i want to repack the hubs and do some brake work.There is not much to get a grip on with any puller. The service book gives no clues. Does anyone have experience with this... tool to be made .........Thanks....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave39MD Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I had one made by George; http://customhubpullers.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janousek Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Heres what I use for our 31' 90 series. I had to make the extensions which are just 2 grade 8 nuts welded together. Thread the extension bolt in one end and thread the other grade 8 nut to the lug stud. This was the quick and easy fix when I already had the hub puller. Our car needed lots of heat on the rear hub along with the puller the first time. It was on there probably 30+ years. I just pulled them off last fall for service and they popped right off.

Turbine Tech Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Same puller that is used on Chrysler products up to 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It depends on the type wheel/hub the op has. I don't see how the above would work on my 31 Buick , 66s, with wood artillery wheels but I may be missing something. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Get George to make one for you. Eventually you will need it again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midman Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I used a Posilok puller on mine. It also comes in handy for other pulling jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Midman, do you have wire wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Dave, I do have wire wheels. Not sure if it would work on a wood wheel hub. My hubs have a small lip that the jaws can just grab, and with the Posilok locked down the puller was able to keep hold of the hub Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It's amazing how many times this question comes up. You can use a puller like picture 1 but the style in picture 2 is better. this is probably your best option because you will need it again. http://customhubpullers.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I have purchased "split collars" and used a large jaw puller (8") to pull wheels off. You can place a rag or rubber to protect the paint between the split collar and the part you are trying to remove. This example is of a water pump gear that I am removing. SOMEONE ELSE BROKE THIS FLANGE. That is why I like using a split collar. It transmits all the load close to the part I want to save, and it gives a place for a large puller to hold on to. Note the hand mallet. I tighten the puller up, and then I give a smack on the end of the threaded puller shaft. Turn it until tight again, and then another whack. It takes a while to pull some things apart. I also locate the puller jaws on top of the 2 split collar bolts. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
