Review on πŸ”§ Efficient and Reliable OTC 6980 Heavy Duty Brake Drum and Rotor Puller - Get the Job Done Right! by Raj Mazzabufi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. on pullers

After a few days of fiddling with the rear drums on my '66 International pickup, I finally decided to buy the 'right' tool in hopes it would work. After reading the reviews I was very confident that this would be the solution. I received the tool and unpacked it. This is a very difficult mode and well done. I was excited to try it. Unfortunately it didn't fit my drum kit! The rear hub was sticking out too far and I couldn't reach the pull arms behind the drum with my fingers, they were set back about 1/4 inch. I had to modify the tool a bit by drilling one side of a slightly larger diameter yoke (threaded part) to fit OVER the shaft and I managed to push it in there. Within 5 minutes I removed BOTH drums. Worked like a charm - wish I'd bought this first as it would have saved a lot of trouble! Swapping it out was a bit of a hassle but it probably works fine on most cars without modification.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • low repairability
