I have a 41 Ford Custom Deluxe, I think, (car at least), and I have a leaking back brake cylinder. Is there a special wheel hub puller I need and where can I get one? I have seen Universal Pullers advertised but I don't know if that's what I need. I sure would appreciate help on this. And while you're at it, where do you find new replacement brake cylinders? I might as well do all while I'm at it. Thanks, Frank

Frank I was all set to tell you that the wheel pullers are available advertised in the V8 magazine. And the cylinders are available from the usual suppliers. But then I looked at your picture. That no longer is a 41 Ford as Henry built them by any stretch of the imagination. So I have no idea what you might have for running gear. Better take it to a local generic car repairer and have him tell you what you need.

If your car still has the 1941 rear end, there are 2 places that you can buy a hub puller. http://www.vintageprecision.com/products/hub_pullers/ This site will show you the puller and the drums that it is used on. You can also purchase one from Winfield Tool Works and they can be reached at: 3 Enterprise Drive East Setauket, NY 11733-3724 Phone: (631) 928-3316 Fax: (631) 928-3221 If you belong to a regional Group of the Early Ford V-8 Club, one of the members may have one that you can borrow. Rock Auto has the wheel cylinders for the 42-48 Fords. You can use them as long as you replace both sides. http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1942,super+deluxe,3.6l+221cid+v8,124326,brake/wheel+hub,wheel+cylinder,1952 Tom

i'm sorry it took me so long to reply but I thought answers were going to go to my email. Only today did I go back to the forum. Thank you for the reply. And to answer your question, yes, the running gear/frame is still all original. Only the body has been "adjusted".

If cost is a factor, you might consider a knock off type puller, sold by Mac's and other suppliers for 4 or 5 bucks. Ive found that more often rhan not they will do the job.

And Mac Van Pelt rents the pullers: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_home.htm Also, Frank, if you added your general location (in the post and in your profile) the guy that lives around the corner may have one he would loan you. It is good that the answers are posted, if they went to your email no one would have the opportunity to see and correct them if they are wrong also no one else would be able to benefit from the information.
