I have a set of wood wheels that I need to get off. I have taken the main nut off and can not get a hub puller on the wheel and drum. is there a threaded puller that will work. We had to have a knock off drum puller made and don't want to make another one.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThere is a listing on Ebay for an assortment of Hub wrenches. See if the link below will take you to the listing. Otherwise search "Vintage Automobile Truck Hub combination wrench"

Hope this helps.

I believe thee was a special six sided wrench in the tool kit originally. I have seen those wrenches at Hershey at the tool vendors. Measure across the flats.
Put the size here and on the AACA site. Other cars used the same size.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Thanks Pete. I wasn’t sure if they were threaded on or not. Pete

I would try first taking them off by unscrewing(counter clockwise) BY HAND.
If that doesn't work find a guy(or girl) with bigger stronger hands.
