Brake drum puller for '36 T
-
I want to look at the brakes on my '36 Terraplane and I can't seem to remove the drums easily. Is there a special drum remover tool for these babies? The ones I have all hook behind and don't seem to fit...slim

This is the tool you need. There are other bands available. Search the internet for "Wheel Hub Puller".

Then follow the pictures in this site.

Owch!
I'll see if I can find a loaner.
Thanks for the very informative link with pictures. I'll save it for further review.

Here is a cheaper one from J. C. Whitney, but you have to supply your own dogbone.

Watch out for the ones made in China, with pressure the break. If you want one made in the good old USA, not cheap, contact me. Walt.

Here is a puller my Dad made many years ago, suits both Hudson/Rambler and other cars as well. Guaranteed never to break.

Whatever kind of puller you use, be sure to keep the big nut on the axle shaft. Only loosen it up a few turns.
That way, when the drum breaks loose, instead of blasting across the room, it will stop on the nut, and you will not get hurt.
