Chazz 47 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 What about the front drums. My car already had a rear end swap before I got it. It now has a rear out of an 80's volare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have not had my 39.00 unit fail me and I have had a 10 foot cheater bar on it....success is not only in applying pressure but the ability to apply it equally..ensure you have you unit set up to pull equally...

Don Coatney Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 What about the front drums. My car already had a rear end swap before I got it. It now has a rear out of an 80's volare. No puller required on the front drums nor on the Volare drums. Check for the front wheel procedure in your service manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazz 47 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks for the information. I'm just starting on a p15 so I'm still trying to gather information on them. The seller was asking $120 for the puller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Don Coatney Posted May 12, 2016 Solution Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks for the information. I'm just starting on a p15 so I'm still trying to gather information on them. The seller was asking $120 for the puller. Open the resources link at the top of this page and read everything found it there. Search the internet for a P-15 service manual and buy one.

The seller was asking $120 for the puller. You don't need it so why not post it in the ebay links section. Someone else might. Depending on the brand and maybe a little negotiation that could be buy for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Point to note that If you have a Chrysler or Desoto the 5 lug puller needs the 6th hole so that the mounting peg can com ethrough the 6th hole. Because Chrysler/Desoto used lug bolts and not lug nuts. On ply/Dod they used lug nuts with the thread studs so no need for the 6th hole. I have a 6 hole wheel puller and this is what I use because it applies equal pressure on the entire drum and not just at 3 points like the 3 legged puller. Is the wheel puller a factory miller tool or after market. $120 is nota bad price if that has the screw and arm.

I think the studs were a dodge car thing. My dodge pickup uses bolts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok,so you get to miss out on needing a brake drum puller,and you also get to miss out on all the alleged fun of trying to pull original brake drums. That's something everybody should have to do once,just so you know people ain't lying to you about it. BTW,pre-48 Ford and my 1939 IHC half-ton pu have the same tapered axles with a keyway in them. There are bound to be others,but I don't know of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 they I think were multi splined axle hubs...and yes they did need a high torque on the nut...I do not recall them hard to remove as the half shaft was able to be knocked with a weighted blow with the nut on the axle threads...but like you...been many years since I took one off..but just last year found the mans noise in his beetle due to finger tight nuts.
