Hub Puller

[4oldfords]

i tried to find it on the mitchell web site but didn't see it.

is a hub puller a must have tool to get your rear drum off to access the brakes? I get confused by this - I dont want the hub off the drum - i just want to access the brakes. I am working on the front end now - I haven't even taken the wheels off the back yet but b4 i start if i need a tool i like to know.

BTW - thanks everyone for all the info on here - it is soooo great to have access to all this combined experience as a newby

PS - I know that is a dumb question but i don't care I gotta know for sure.... anyway-if the hub puller isn't used to pull the hub from the drum how is it done
