ABSTRACT:
A pulling tool for drawing the wheel of a motor vehicle into correct camber. The pulling tool has a base on which the wheel rests during adjustment of camber. A vertical support arm projects upwardly from the base, and supports a reel controlled by a ratchet. A strap paid out from the reel engages the wheel by a hook and pulls the top of the wheel towards the vertical support arm when the reel draws in the strap. A brace pivotally fixed to the vertical support arm includes two struts propped against the wheel, and prevents the vertical support arm from being drawn ineffectually towards the wheel. The base is bent to form an offset portion at that end to which the vertical support arm is connected, so that the novel tool may overlie a side rail of a conventional alignment rack without interference. The base and vertical support arm are separable. The top of the base has tread.
