Default hub puller

The thread is a little course. M20. The original volvo I believe was 3/4" unf. The pitch for that thread was 1.5mm. The pitch of M20 is 2.5mm so it will need a bit more grunt on the handle to move hubs. But it is the style of puller and strength of puller that will eventualy shift the drum. I have used other similar pullers with a finer thread and the last one i had i totaly destroyed the puller trying to get the drum off. I got that mad that the drum would not come off ,I ended up wacking the puller with a sledge hammer to try to get the drum off and eventualy buggered the puller. Thats why I made this one and the drum came off instantly using the extension pipe. It was almost sexual after all that grief. If it takes off I might try to make a finer thread but the advantage of a slightly courser thread is that it is much stronger.

Default hairyapple sez..threads

When I was a lad my dad was an excavating contractor running CAT loaders and plows (bulldozers). They used to always outfit their equipment with fine thread bolts almost everywhere but some time in the late 60's they began changing all of their fasteners to coarse thread-reason strength. I believe you are on the right track using a coarse tread.

Default Hub Pullers

The way I've found which causes the least grief when removing any hubs is Sykes Pickavant's hydraulic ram coupled with the appropriate number of arms for the number of wheel studs you have. The arms attach semi floating to a ring which allows for any pitch. If anyone's interested I can take a picture of the device and post it .

The outer thread is tightened by hand until the centre rod holds on the drive shaft, then the hydraulic inner is wound up using the four inch rod supplied. Bang, off it comes. No damage, no grunting ,no bashing, no hitting of anything. Only slight problem is that Sykes have stopped making the arms so they're worth looking for in old stock or on ebay as the ram works on a whole range of pulling equipment.

Default hub puller finer thread

I am now in the proccess of redesigning the puller with a finer thread. I may have made a mistake with the thread pitch being too course. The new thread will be M22 x 1.25 pitch. This should now be absolutely spot on. Although the courser threaf did still do the job.

I will post pictures sometime next week of the new puller. It is early days yet regarding price but I believe I wont be able to do them cheaper than £45 plus postage. Watch this space.

This is just what is needed. I just hope the cost will be afordable to the amazon owners as its a tool every amazon Pv and early 1800 owner should have. Much better than the cheapos that are about.

Default New hub puller with finer thread

Here are some pictures of the new hub puller with a much finer thread.

I have slotted the holes out in case these pullers would fit other cars with a different stud radius. However the amazon p1800 and pv wheel studs fit in the centre of the slots. The puller will sit central without the need to hold the puller while you bolt the puller to the drum. Some people think that because they are slotted that the puller would not sit true unless it was held. This is not the case. It makes no difference other than allowing different stud diameters.

I have over engineered these pullers purely for strength so they are very heavy but will do the job effortlessly.

Please let me know your thoughts.

I can sell them for £45 plus postage at the moment.

Default hub puller

Hi Alen. If you are interested in a puller just email me at amazondean.co.uk and that goes for anyone else if they are intersted. Postage and packing would be in the region of £15 for mainland England.

Below is my restoration of a 1965 122s with overdrive. I have now painted the car in its top coat and made a right mess of it but hay my intension was to get a good solid family car on the road for less than £1000 including purchase price and at the moment I should be well within budget. I will post some pictures shortly of the car at the moment but I am starting to lose interest.

Dean.
