FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

That puller looks like the Manzel puller we had back in the early 50's.

The SnapOn puller was different, it could be used on the lug nuts or the hub, depending on the adapter used. It was more of a mufti-purpose puller.

The puller fits Ford hubs from '28 thru '48.

The four segments have a ridge that fits the hub groove and are spring loaded,the ring keeps everything together,a brass nut fits on the axle shaft. Does Model A have the same grooved hub? Curious to what else this fits. I originally got it for my 46 Ford,1971 or so.

I'm an old Ford mechanic, but I've never seen one like that. How does ot attach to the hub? The Winfield has a split cone that grips the grooves on the hub, and is secured by a large ring that slips down to hold the tool in place. There is a fitting to protect the end of the axle that receives the end of the threaded bolt, which is tightened against it. When properly tensioned, if the hub doesn't pop off, a rap on the end of the screw always finishes the job.

I use this type of brake drum puller. It may be a Snapon blue point? make I don't know but worth keeping your eye out for. Much heavier duty than the KR Wilson and a lot of people think that if it is not a KR Wilson than it is not for a Ford. I was given this years ago by an old Ford garage mechanic and I have seen a couple others at estate auction that were personal tools of Ford dealership mechanics.

I've had my Winfield puller for many years. Today, it is twice as expensive, but no less the best tool of its type, bar none. Think of it as an investment, like most very good tools.

Hi Stroker- I will be making the call Mon. It's not like I can drop by Sears and pick one of these up. I am anxious to move on with this project. Just as soon as I can free up the rear axle I can get it pulled out and moved to my own garage. My goal is to get this up and running by spring. Might learn a few tricks along the way. cheers- Q

Q: I finally "scored" a used KRW on our classified site some time ago. Like you, I was kind of "put-off" by the hassle of having to call a phone number, which is apparently answered by the people who manage their "real business", which is re-building scientific equipment. I had used an original KRW back in the 50's, which I was able to scrounge from a friend who worked a a local Ford dealership. After that, I'd never go back to
the Neanderthal methods. I have not yet used the latest acquisition, but plan upon refreshing my rear wheel bearings with some nice NOS examples this winter. Having "checked out" my repro Winfield KRW, and compared with some of the similar types you referenced, I think it is the only way to go. Some of the reproduction Ford parts suppliers list the KRW, but because they have to pay the same as you do ordering from Winfield Tool, they are appropriately marked-up. As V8editor says, give them a call. Enjoy your wet weather, as we could sure use some rain back here in the Midwest.

v8editor- Thanks for the info, I was starting to think a phone call would be the only way to find out. I am on the West Coast, I will have to call during work hours. There seem to be a few variations of this tool, but most agree this one is the best. Cheap insurance against damaged parts!
