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"Joe" wrotet...>*** Free account sponsored by  ****** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from ***

Not at that price, order a new one from Ted Harbit or Fairborn Studebaker.Joe wrote:>

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>

Has anyone even tried this type of puller? hammer is not needed, just a lug wrench or an impact wrench on the wheel bolts.	You can make one very cheep and it works very well. Instructions here;  	ChuckJoe wrote:>

I have one that is modeled after the one featured on e-bay. It wasfashioned years ago by my friends father who happened to be ablacksmith. It works fine. I think the one on e-bay was owned by SteveGrant.   jimmijim

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.
