Make brake drum puller

Written by

Tractors for the rear brake drums are expensive and if you don't screw on a 2CV every week you may only need it every few years. The alternative to this is as simple as it is ingenious. You need an old rim, a approx. 20 cm long M 12 wire rod and a pair of M 12 nuts. A nut is screwed into the middle of the wire rod and inserted into the hole in the middle of the rim. Then put a second nut on it from the other side and align the wire rod so that it passes vertically and tighten the nut.

Now the nut on the inside of the rim is welded. The nut on the outside now comes to the end of the wire rod and is also welded, the same happens at the other end of the wire rod. If we now want to pull off the brake drum, we can leave this work to a toddler, since Armold-Schwarzenegger forces and the like are not necessary. A little fat on the inner nut is just as useful as reversing the eccentric (who hasn't forgotten?).

Even brakes with clogged cylinders and fixed brake shoes after a long period of downtime are no longer an issue, but the brake shoes are bent and the plates with the locking springs jump through, but such brakes need to be completely replaced anyway. To pull off the brake drum, screw the wire rod into the rim of the trigger, then screw the wheel nuts onto the drum, screw the wire rod into it, press it onto the astap and the rim pulls the drum off with gentle force. Pulling the drum with the screwed wheel is not recommended, as this allows the wheel bearing to jump.
