jps Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Can somebody tell me the correct tpi thread size and overall diameter for a 1930 40-series hub? Also, if someone has a cost-effective hub puller to sell, I may be interested. I just need one to use twice - I know I could order a new custom-made one from George M. in Nebraska, but for this I would be happy with a more basic model. There are various sizes available on e-bay but I don't know the correct dimensions. Thank you. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Use a thread gage and dimensions from your hub cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jps Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Yes. I ended up buying a really nice one, which was a shame only because I just needed it for 2 wheels and now I'll never need it again. It adjusts between 2 7/8 to 3 inches diameter, and has 16 teeth per inch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArticiferTom Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Do a search "hub puller" and look at about 2015 dates . Maybe under Dodge forum but a 3 page list was published of all puller sizes and the vehicles they match , in thread . Buick was in it . Good luck .

ArticiferTom Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hubs should be pulled every year or two depending on use . To check brake pad wear and seal leaks on wheel bearing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 In my case, I needed to pull the hub off of a spare rear-end assy to get the axle shaft out and use it to replace one of mine that broke. Fortunately I found a 1930 40-series assy that has the same axle shafts as does my 20-series 1929. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
