mattimuss Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Hey All, I picked up a used hub puller at the swap meet today. The only downside is that it's missing an arm. The seller couldn't remember what happened to the third arm. Anyone out there have a spare arm they might be willing to sell? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 you would probably need to list the make of the unit you have...each maker I think would be unique and any length difference in the puller leg will cause you unequal pulling around the hub.. Quote
mattimuss Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Posted February 22, 2015 Very good point PA, I should have included that info. The only markings on the puller are the number "248" and "Made In The USA". The arms are almost 7" long and the base [where it mounts to the studs] is almost 2" wide. The seller had no idea where the third arm disappeared to. I am hoping someone here might have one like it that is also incomplete, who would be willing to sell me an arm or their incomplete puller.

Ulu Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I have a puller of that style, and IMO it was not the best choice for a 4.5" bolt circle. On the Plymouth it was "cramped", and though it works, getting a perfect alignment and maintaining it was not easy with the legs pulled all the way in. I built one that fits better, from a steel plate and a big nut & bolt, plus 5 long bolts. It's not adjustable though. I'd have to drill more holes to fit a different bolt circle; and it only works if you have lug bolts rather than wheel studs with nuts. Quote
