The Ford Barn - View Single Post - AA/BB Truck rear drum removal tool question

DD931 · 03-29-2019, 04:15 PM

I believe I have a tool for removing big truck rear brake drums mounted on tapered shafts with keys (same design as cars but different dimensions). It is not the KR Wilson tool design, but rather is the widely-used design that is a semicircular forging that slips over the hub, sliding over/into the machined puller groove. It has an axial center bolt that lands on the end of the axle, providing the "pulling" force. I have seen lots (I have two) that fit cars, but never one as big as this. I want to sell this puller, but need to confirm the diameter of the groove in the AA/BB rear hub where the puller would fit. Has anyone got an AA they can measure? This unit has a 2 1/2 inch opening, which would be the groove diameter on the hub. I'm hoping that fits a big Ford truck.Thanks for any help!!
