Default Re: drum puller

I bought one from Precision I think on eBay. Was a few years ago. Nice folks, made well works great.
Back in the days (early to mid fifties) we put the opposite wheel on a starter or generator, put the weight of the car on the wheels, put the nut flush with the end of the axle and whacked it with a sledge hammer.
Hopefully the wheel would stay right there but the rear end of the car would roll on the old round thing under the opposite wheel. Always worked. The dealer mechanics taught me that.
There was also a special nut you could buy to put on the axle for hammering on.
