Herts Hub Puller
Hi All,
Just wondered if there was anyone in the Hertfordshire area that has a rear drum puller suitable for an 1800S that they would be willing to loan out or sell? Though it was worth a try before I shell out the 95 quid to Brookhouse... Thanks, Kevin |

powen;
Linked puller does not show a provision for receiving impact, so if your Drums are very tight and require high force to break free (which is often the case!), that puller may not be adequate! See also: https://www.sw-em.com/Brake_Drum_Notes.htm Good Hunting! |

Thanks for the suggestion @powen1, I must admit it looks ok to me although I see Ron’s point that you can’t whack it! This is the reason I am a bit reluctant to buy the Brookhouse puller as its non-hydraulic with just a (big) nut so not the easiest thing to hit if it’s a bit stuck – anyone have any experience of using this type of puller or where to buy a more appropriate one?

An impact wrench might just do the job where a hammer won't or something like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22mm-Slog...MAAOSwa7RcuDEN

Buy or borrow a tool which has a slogging head/handles.
Less than a slogging head will prove futile if the drum is really tight on the taper. An impact wrench will possibly damage the thread on a puller. |

+ one to Richo. I loaned my hefty thread-type one to a local friend for his Amazon and he spent many hours thumping it with a club-hammer and tightening it, applying release agent, heat, swearing at it, leaving it under load for a day then repeating - until the thread stripped on that huge bolt.
Result - he never got his hub off (just routine checks whilst doing a service) and he had a new bolt made up for the puller. Yes, they can be a bit obstinate. P |

The 5 leg pullers struggle to remove a hub that was only taken off weeks ago. A hub that has been on for years has no hope with that type linked.
I avoid loaning my pullers as there is a risk of damage. I do have a very heavy duty one that takes a hell of a whack and stubborn drums need full force impact from a VERY big hammer (Thor's hammer - the apprentice is not strong enough to lift it up ) |
