Is this puller worth going after?

What a monster! Looks a tad clumsy, but it should work ok. I kind of like the loose but captive legs on the puller I have. I can just imagine fumbling around with those open end legs sliding off while you are trying to hold the puller and start the lug nuts.. Jeff

Great. Thanks, John.

Yeah. I wondered. Thanks, Jeff.

YOu might think of checking with Phil. I picked one of these up from Ted for a lot less than this one. I assume Phil is now handling these but you would have to check with him. MikeW

Thanks, Chuck. That's interesting. Will look into it.

Or, as my buddy George would say: "DAMMIT! Buy the FLANGED AXLES!!!"

I have one that is modeled after the one featured on e-bay. It was fashioned years ago by my friends father who happened to be a blacksmith. It works fine. I think the one on e-bay was owned by Steve Grant. jimmijim

Thanks, guys. I ordered one from Ted Harbit per John's original reply. I'm probably too klutzy to make one for myself.

I have one of those pullers, that I bought new for $7 or so in 1963. I've used it for pulling all kinds of things, including Stude brake drums - works great. For the purpose of Stude brake drums, it's really no different than the puller shown in the shop manual.

This one's been used though - note the mushroomed head of the main bolt.
