Good evening everyone I am trying to remove the rear brake drums from my 47 series 62
I was wondering if the drum and hub are a one piece unit or the drum comes off separately
I just thought I should check before I started wailing on the drum with my hammer.
Thank you Al
I had to use a wheel puller to remove the rear drums from my '41
Hey john thank you does the drum come off separately or is the drum and hub one piece
Thank you Al
Drum and hub are one piece, unfortunately for you. The change came for the 1949 model.
Here's my wheel puller.

Its a keyed taper kinda like the flywheel on a lawnmower engine?
Thank you everyone for your help
The pictures from mike helped me a lot fortunately as a tool junkie ( no cure unfortunately) I had the right style of puller and managed to get one removed.
the information shared on here is invaluable to me thank you

Certified tool junkie here as well. I really like Mike's puller. Think I got one here very similar by Grey Tools. Clay/Lexi
Check this out, Grey Tools, Canada, probably 1970s. Clay/Lexi
I just noticed those don't look like handles, they look like where you are supposed to hit it with a hammer.
Yes, and you can also hammer on the end, once the screw is tightened. This can shock the taper into letting go.

Yes, and the end of mine looks like it has been severely beaten over the years, even slightly damaged, but the rest of it is in surprisingly good shape. Clay/Lexi
You're not supposed to "try this at home" but it is much less violent to use an impact. It is also important to keep the threads lubricated. Harry
