well, I need help. I spent all afternoon hearing beating and pulling my rear brake drum/hub. I put a 3 jaw puller on it and cranked until it popped off. I did that a couple of times until I have up and put it on tight. Then I heated the hub cherry red with my oxy/acetylene torch. I beat on it for all I had. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

IS YOU PULLER CONNECT TO THE LUGS OR THE DRUM? YOU MAY BE USING THE WRONG TYPE OF PULLER.

A 3-jaw puller isn't the right tool for the job. cjbilly's puller is closer to what you need, but that one could maybe use some reinforcement at the lug nuts if the hub is especially tight. Loosen but don't remove the axle nut, put the puller on, tighten it and whack the end of the screw in line with the axle. Tighten and repeat as necessary.

I ended up buying a front wheel drive puller at orileys but it doesn't fit the lugs, which is fine because the lugs are either rusted so there's no threads or just broke off. I will make a puller like the one above tomorrow, but the 3 jaw actually bent the drum out where it bolts to the hub, which is curious because I thought it was cast and there fore would have snapped off. No matter. I'll just make one tomorrow and weld it to what's left of the studs. Hopefully the other one who be better. It has all of of the studs and looks in much better shape than this side.

+1000 to what the others said. I just went through this this spring. You do want a specialized hub puller. The fit of hub to axle, with them being slightly tapered, is insanely close and very strong.
The pulling action is accomplished by BEATING on the puller lever which has anvils specifically so you strike them with a big hammer (a BFH). Here is the picture. in real life its quite large and heavy. Once you hold it in your hands you will see how a 3-jaw puller is just not up to the job. Note the lever part with the anvil on each side. It is not really made for hand operation -- you tighten it by hand and then go at it with a large hammer. They are expensive ($100+) but most tool rental companies will have one for rent. Mine rents it for 6 bucks for 2 hours. Quite enough to get the job done. Edited by konstan - 19 July 2018 at 3:59pm |

They are BIG pullers. I bought the top quality OTC version with the extra arms so it pulls on all 5 studs.

A buddy and I were riding around town one day and he suddenly zipped over into an auto repair shop that was closing due to the death of the owner. (He has a hard time passing up garage sales, yard sales, and estate sales...) Being unemployed at the time, the last thing I expected to do that day was to buy one of those big pullers, but for $15.00, I couldn't pass it up.
The first time I went to use it, it turned out that the last person to install my rear brake drum/hubs didn't do the job right and the hubs just about fell off. I have since corrected that issue and now need the puller to remove the hubs. |
