Allan Faust Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 Hi, Went to my parents this weekend, and my father gave me something... a puller... now I've seen pullers like this on the bay listed as brake drum pullers... will this work with our drum brakes? Allan Quote
greg g Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 That looks designed for gears and pullies and steering wheels. Not heavy enough for the brake drums. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 15, 2007 Report Posted April 15, 2007 This is not the style as said earlier..however there is a possibility you can use this if you use a front wheel drive rotor from a full size late model sedan as a fulling flange, bolt it on backwards, hook your three jaws and try it..however if your drum is very tight you may not have sucess with this..if recently off...then very possible..

Allan Faust Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Posted April 15, 2007 Darn thing weighs about 10 lbs, opens to about an 18 inch diameter.... Quote

Thx Tim, I figured at least there must be a way that I could jury rig some kind of attachment to it to pull em.... supposedly the brakes were done in 2000..... we'll see..... Allan Quote
Normspeed Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Allan, that's a very nice puller even if it doesn't work on our rear drums. You can never have too many tools. Quote
55 Fargo Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Allan, you can buy a universal hub puller and slide hammer puller from Princess Auto, for less than $100.00. Not the best quailty, but they warranty there hand tools for life I believe...Fred Quote

That's for sure.... when I talked to my father about it, he just pulled it out and gave it to me.... I like the price too.... hehe.... BTW, did you get any news on the postage on what we were discussing? PM me once you have the details. Allan Quote
