I have used a similar type of Early Ford puller and wouldn't use it again. I have found if the drum is on tight the tightening bolt will mushroom out the threaded portion of the axle shaft regardless of having a nut on to protect the shaft threads. If this happens you have a REAL problem to deal with. Suddenly, $250 for a correct puller looks cheap.
