Hello, I am looking for a used rear wheel puller to remove the rear wheels from my 1926 TT. Does anyone have one for sale. I have seen all of the new ones, kind of looking for a used one.
Thank You

Re: Rear Puller Needed
What you might want to consider would be to remove the 15/16” castellated axle nut, turn it over and reinstall it where nut bottom is almost flush with the axle end. Use a brass hammer or brass drift and whack it a few times. Might work - does for me....

If the vehicle runs, you can loosen the nut, put the pin back in, and drive around a little to break the wheel loose.
The inevitable often happens.

Wheel puller did not do it.
Driving around the block a few times did not do it.
What is the next step?

Re: Rear Puller Needed
Old trick, jack up the other side from the wheel you are pulling. Put the puller on the wheel that you need to get off with the wheel on the ground, snug the puller as tight as you can and smack it good a few times with a sledge hammer. You are knocking the axle out of the hub this way. Leave the nut on backed off to the end of the axle threads, but turned over while you are doing this, helps keep the end of the axle from getting mushroomed. Repeat other side if you are pulling both wheels. Be sure the brakes are backed off so they don't hang up. Once you get it free, if it slides off, great, if not, take the nut off and use the puller to assist the rest of the way. Don't jack any more then to get wheel off the ground, there is a lot of weight there.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Rear Puller Needed
When you had the puller on "good n tight", did you try hitting the bolt with a sledge hammer ?
Try it if not, a couple good straight hits should do it.
Put the nut on to the end of the axle threads first.

Re: Rear Puller Needed
As others posted, apply a force, Hammer! Those hub cap thread style pullers need assistance, you can't wrench off a rear wheel hub, unless it was too loose to start with 
After the puller is tight on the hub thread, twist the knock screw in firmly, strike! And then twist the knock screw again, as the axle will start to move slightly, strike again! Normally you will hear a 'bang' and the hub will now be loose.
Or without that style, the simple 'knock-offs' that thread fully onto and bottom out on the end of the axle shaft are done similar, remember to have the opposite wheel jacked up, and the wheel for removal on the ground. You are 'knocking' the axle out of the hub.
