Hey Cal, not bad! It's for engine pulleys.

I had to make a FWD hub splitter the other day so I could replace the front disc brake rotors.

[BP27]

I made the press with steel l got for free.

[needsaresto]

Damn! I need some free I beam,lol. Been doing without a press my whole life,but Im sure I'd have a lot less grey if I had one!

[racerhog]

Me Too....lol

[fishy68]

Nice press and rear end lifting jig there BP27. I've been thinking about making a jig to lift 8-3/4 pumpkins in place.

[buck351]

I had to remove the entire rearend without help so I came up with two of these that attached to the lugs on both sides.

Thats a great idea! I wish I had those when pulling my 8 1/4 diff from my caravelle cop car,as that thing was friggin heavy! At least now I can use the idea for my 8 3/4 in my Dart..

Thanks for sharing!

That is a cool idea. I've rolled them out on a floor jack but it's a balancing act that can be dangerous if your not real careful.

I did soak the a-arms in evaporust overnight.Should work just as well to install the new bushings .

I made one of these for the same reason (I think I might have copied yours). I found another purpose for it too! If you use a longer piece of all-thread you can use it as a slide hammer to remove the oil pump off a 904.

This is my home made hub puller. If you have ever worked on early C bodies these are a must. When they let go they sure make a bang. It's starting to pull the threads off the rod but will change it to a high tensile threaded rod. Used it many times and works great.

Man I sure could have used one of them a few yrs. back when I beat my brains half out trying to get some hubs off a 64. I had a big 3 jaw puller but the drum flexed so much it wasn't much help.
