Been looking into various options for a rear drum puller and ran across this. I'm wondering if anyone has tried something like this. I suppose you just snug the cylinder portion against the axle stub using the threads on the OD, then turn the small handle . . . which must force a much smaller piston further, creating the pulling force (?). I'm curious to know if the high pressures claimed (12 tons of pulling force) are more effective then the sudden "impact" delivered by wailing on the end of a puller with a BFH. Any input?
For my money, I don't think it's worth it, but it's an interesting concept that I have not seen before.
