Re: [FWDLK] Brakedrum hub puller

["Edward X. Petrus" <desoto@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got mine through J C Whitney.  Right out of the catalog.  Works 
great.  However, the one mentioned by Roger Van Hoy that is a "heavy 
plate" is made by Les 
Fairbanks.

I think it's something like $100, and is guaranteed to 
work.  Although it's different than mine, I have seen Les', and I 
don't think there's a drum around that can stand up to his puller!
