whc160 74 #1 Posted March 10, 2013 Well I have been replacing alot of axle seals. Have been lucky using a 3-jaw puller and have not broken a hub. I figured my luck might run out one of these days. So I thought it was time to make a puller. Went to the local machine shop to get the stuff I needed. Well I ended you just having them make it for me. For the price and me not really having the time. Here is some pics of it. Got to use it yesterday and it worked great. I don't know why I waited so long to get this done. Here are some more pics. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,417 #5 Posted March 10, 2013 How are you holding the axle from turning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourwheels0 191 #6 Posted March 10, 2013 it looks like you could just put a pipe wrench on the tube to keep it from turning. that's a great looking setup and idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishin4a416 2,191 #8 Posted March 10, 2013 Looks like a dandy!!! Do you use the impact wrench with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whc160 74 #9 Posted March 10, 2013 Yes the idea was mine. I took them an old hub and a drawing I had made to them. Also I do use a 1/2" drive impact wrench. With the impact you really only need your hand to hold it from turning. But if you did not have an impact you could put a wrench on the nut that is welded on at the top for the all thread. Then use a ratchet to turn the all thread in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,013 #10 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Here's my puller. It was a special tool for GM when the x body front wheel drives came out. We never used them The wheel bearings about fell out when you removed the bolts. Picked it up for a buck when the dealership moved into a new bldg and they were cleaning out. Fits the WH hubs perfect and run the impact on it. Edited March 10, 2013 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
