Re: Model A rear hub puller
By the way, be advised that this type of puller does not work on every Ford rear drum from that era. It will fit most, but I have run into possibly off-brand or later hubs that have the collar (used for pulling against) placed differently on the hub, which won't allow the two halves of this pulley to be sealed together by that large sleeve. I did have some luck, however, sliding the sleeve as far on the cone as possible and turning the screw - even though the halves were not meeting each other. Other times, no success. Of course, a lot depends upon how tight the hub is on the axle. The three-legged puller that is secured by the lug nuts is about the most universal puller I have found for our cars. It'll work on any old Ford drum, regardless of the hub's configuration.
