In the 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 60s most well equipped shops had a tool for this. Nobody I know today has one. Is there a trick that works just as well?

There's only two things that excite a man, expensive toys and real expensive toys.

I would lend you mine but you are a little too far away.

Perhaps you could find a Model A guy who has one or knows of one does. I got mine years ago when I did not even need it.

I know of no other way......sorry!

Randy, I think that a hub puller for a Jeep will work, most shops that do 4 wheel drives will more than likely have a puller

You may be right...... I don't have a JEEP but now that you mentioned it, I remember some CJ 5's having a splined key way type axel setup. That's one of the great things about SRS..... the vast pool of knowledge and information available.

I tell you what I have done and I am not advising it but I have losened the nut and drove around in a circle to get those jeep hubs to losen up, sometimes they just wont come off even with a puller..........Randy there is also a tad of bs here too.............lol

Check the rental shops. That is where I used to get that puller the few times I needed one. If we have them here in Helena, I would think most anywhere would have them.

Hey Bib, I happen to have one in my tool box. It has 3 legs that get bolted down on the wheel lugs with a large diameter screw through the center that applies pressure on the axle end. We used to use them for Plymouth and Dodge rear drums they were keyed and tight as hell. I know that the local Canadian tire store here has them for loan (Free) but in your part of the country I wouldn't have a clue. If you do find one when you get it bolted down and the screw tightened up give the end of the screw a few good whacks with a hammer and it'll pop right off. Leave the nut on the axle but loose. That keeps the drum on the axle and not on your feet. Good luck

Well DUH!! Are the '40 Ford's the same as a '46 Ford 1/2 ton?? I believe that I've got one here, and forgot all about it until Rochie described his. Steve, if you would like to borrow it, I'll send it to you, if it's the same. I had a '46 Ford 1/2 ton a few years ago.

The wheel bolt pattern is the same.........5 on 5 and 1/2 inches. The description sounds the same too!

Phil, you are having far to many "senior" moments. Do you have care home insurance?

I was cleaning up the basement the other day, and spotted it on the floor, and put it in a box. Usually when I do that, I can't remember where it was that I saw it. I was looking for a gallon jug of distilled water today, and looked under the kitchen sink and discovered that I've got two more jugs of dishwasher detergent sitting behind the box that I just bought a couple weeks ago to replace the jug that I'm using now. Hey...every day is just like Christmas, finding all these neat things stashed here and there.

I did find the distilled water in another cabinet. The 58's battery was dead, and needed water.

They are off!!

One of our club members had a puller for servicing Jeep hubs. The kind that ties down to three lug nuts. The first one was on tight. After screwing the puller down as far as it would go I popped it on the end of the screw with a heavy hammer. Drum jumped off. The second simply pulled off. The only damage was some spalling along the edge of the drums. Old time brake man here in town says they almost always suffer some spalling and it does not hurt them from a functional standpoint. If you ever do this loosen up the adjusters first. Mine were rusted up. Made it a tad tight. Now, does abybody have a trick for getting frozen spring perches out of wishbones and axles? I have tried heat and penetrant a BFH. Nothing seems to work.
