Hello, I am trying to get an idea of price for a 1936 Ford Wheel Hub Puller. I have searched on the internet for current price for one. No luck. I need to get this because I am buying one from a friend and he did not put a price on it and left that up to me. I do not want under or over price. It has the multiple fingers that hook on to the hub with a center shaft with a spinner and threded center rod that you strike with a hammer. Thank You! Dave

A better design for a flathead Ford is item 183765904026 available on Ebay for about $70. Not cheap but better than a 3 legged puller that may distort your drums.

hi Dave you could try backing off the nut on the hub and backing up and forward a few times, this might loosen up the hub, if it does ,,,back off the brake adjustment, and remove drum when replacing the drums, apply anti seize compound on the axle if does not work go with the one that only works on the hub iteself, it all depends on how much force you will use, if you use your friends, just remember the drums are real hard to replace, and expensive, if you can find nice originals that can be machined, hope this helps 37Ragtopman

Dave, 51504bat got it right. Do not try any other puller than that type he's pictured, and for sure, don't try some backwoods farmer method for removal. On replacing the drum, do not use Wildroot Creme Oil or any other Tom Fool stuff at all. Clean dry axle and hub only. Alan

Dave, I have the puller I posted the info about. If you happen to be in SoCal you can borrow it. Tim ______________ No signature

The puller shown in 51504bat's post is the best type of puller you can use for pulling early Ford drums/hubs. Also, ford38v8 gives good advice on assembly of drum/hub to tapered axle. The tapered fit area of both hub and axle should be clean and free of any type debris or lubricant. John This message was edited by JM on 3-19-22 @ 6:11 AM

The best "foolproof" hub puller is the Winfield Tool Works version of the original KRW tool. I have used mine for decades. It uses a protective sleeve for the threads on the axle that can be easily damaged. Back in the day, when I was a Ford dealer mechanic, every dealer had the original KRW kept in a wooden box. They can be found at swap meets occasionally, and sell for about $100 if complete. Google "Ford hub pullers" for more info, and pullers for sale.

51504bat, a good point you make on the Winfield Tool Works puller no longer being in production. Also, it's difficult to find good used versions of the original KRW, or the Winfield pullers. However, Vintage Precision in California makes a top quality puller that works as well as the original KR Wilson, or the Winfield copy of the KRW. Check their url listed below: http://vintageprecision.com/products/hub_pullers/index.html John

Already posted about the Vintage Precision puller link and offered the loan of mine to the OP. Was just pointing out that Winfield Tool Works is OB in response to Kubes40 posting. ______________ No signature

Yes, I went back and saw that you had already posted the Precision Puller url information before I posted mine. Missed seeing that on my first pass. John
