Axle puller

Would this be good for occasional use or should I just rent one from local parts store?http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=5223

 

Buy it. Can't get hurt for 30 bucks. Probably come in handy.

 

I'm glad I bought one. You end up using it more than you think. At the price, it's silly not to add it to the tool inventory.

 

Seems like the part that bolts to the wheel studs is too shallow? Any help is appreciated!! Is there something I'm missing?

 

Never used that particular tool before but you would have to rent 8 different tool to do the work of that 1 tool, and it’s only $30.

 

Won't work to pull my rear axles just came back in from trying again. Starting to get pissed off about it. The piece that looks like a crows foot is too shallow to go over the threaded part of the axleshaft and allow the lugnuts to be threaded back on the studs. Damn AMC20!

 

No help?

 

Just saw this in tech section.

 

Dont panic. Just chuck that part up in a milling machine vise and open it up to work on our big bolt pattern. No sweat, it worked for me.

 

I also have a hub puller from JCW and it’s a monster of a puller. I would recommend spending the extra $25 and buy their gear puller arms that attaches to the hub puller.
