Drum Puller (was '56 Brake Questions)

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

You should be very careful with these pullers. They can (and will)develop 
stress cracks. If the puller should bust while you are using it, it can be very 
dangerous.

I didn't see the one on e-bay, but assuming it is the correct type, I would 
like to point out that you must use the correct puller on those cars or the 
axle can be seriously damaged.

I am currently looking for a new one myself. Mine cracked when we were using it 
to pull the rear drums off of my '56 Imperial a couple of weeks ago. It was 
over 10 years old, but I had only used it three times. In the meantime we 
rented one from the local tool rental shop.
