Looks like the only thing that is missing from all of these pictures is the leather protector cup, I can show a pretty clear picture of the puller in use if anyone wants it. The picture is from a 34 D.B service manual but it is practically the same puller Miller part # CM-232

I would like a copy of that catalog you mentioned Rich, is it for sale or something you can send via e-mail.

Incidentally has anyone seen a service manual for any Chrysler product prior to 1934?

I sent you a PM with the info. Rich

Thanks Tod, it would appear that 34 might be the first year, I know there were none for 28-32 but am unsure about 33

Sent you e-mail back Rich, look forward to seeing that catalog, I also have a miller catalog, its earlier than you might be interested in dated 1930 but if there is any interest let me know.

I have not really kept up with special service tools as I can barely find the time to look into toolkit packs but its all good.

Have a look at the attached video for tools guys. This company is able to PRINT 3D working tools. I found it a little hard to believe... until I watched the video. I would imagine that the process would not be cheap, but it would be a great way to replicate those old tools that you seek. Enjoy...

They got the hanging ring wrong. The teeth and gear are not correct... That means the program has some preconceived ideas planted in it. Also The moving part rotates on an unseen part

I noticed and wondered about that too... I guess the human intervention to design the moving and unseen parts was left out to make the video more impressive.

What would really be neat is a listing of the old special tools and their modern counterparts to get the job done. I've been looking through my '47 Desoto shop manual and there's a tool for everything, including clothespins, which I can do!

For example, the rear hub pullers I've seen guys talk about on here. And gear pullers for this and that. There has to be modern equivilents unless the old tools are useless for anything but the old cars. Maybe so. Maybe there's no need for a rear hub puller now. That probably sounds stupid but I couldn't tell you offhand how to get a wheel hub off my Chrsyler 300.

It would also seem like there is a market for a tool company to make the special tools for these old cars. They don't seem that difficult to manufacture, but maybe the volume isn't there.

I asked Todd also if he had the entire article from the skinned knuckles that he derived that info from. It is volume 1 issue 3 I believe. Anyone here have a copy?

I am sure it covers more than Plymouth cars.
