  • Front wheel drive hub puller
    Patent number: 5067220
    Abstract: A hub puller for removing hubs from axle bearings on front wheel drive vehicles including a yoke having a pair of adjustably spaced arms extending therefrom adapted to engage the vehicle knuckle housing. An elongated threaded shaft includes an inner end upon which an adapter is adjustably mounted for engaging the hub's inner end, and an outer end which passes through the hub and a hole in the yoke to receive a thrust bearing and actuating nut. Rotating the nut causes the shaft to translate through the yoke to axially displace the hub from the knuckle bearing.
