RE: IML: Hub Puller

["WCR" <got_mopar@xxxxxxx>]

I agree, Kenyon

The impact works great on "pulling" those hub/drums.  I have done it several
times now after it proved so effective; no sweat, not heating, no waiting
overnight, and no damage to the tool or the axle.  DO leave the axle nut on
a few the threads though because it will "pop" off.  And use grease on all
the friction points.

Subject: RE: IML: Hub Puller

I am intensely averse to Hammers, manpower, and extra-long levers to remove
stubborn hubs.

An electric or pneumatic impact wrench applies the same or greater force in
tens, hundreds, or thousands of strkes, all in a form that does not risk
injury to yourself or the car.

Swinging a big hammer or jumping off the roof as one poster did just don't
make sense to me.


Not having such a tool is not a good excuse for not using it.  Over the
years, multiple people have written in about having trouble getting their
drums off.  Seems like "almost" all of them have one thing
in common.
