ABSTRACT:
A wheel puller for removing, transporting, and replacing large vehicle wheels and their corresponding brake drums is disclosed. The wheel puller includes a U-shaped metal frame having a central front portion and two arm portions. Upright members are disposed on or near said central portion and a horizontal pivot bar is mounted between the upright members. The pivot bar is vertically translatable on the upright members. A plurality of wheels are mounted on the frame to support and transport the frame. L-shaped wheel lifting arms pivotably mounted on the horizontal pivot bar pivot from a wheel engaging position to a handle position. In the wheel engaging position, the wheel lifting arms reside within the U-shaped frame and are parallel to and extend in the same direction as the arm portions. In the handle position, the wheel lifting arms reside on the side of the central portion opposite the arm portions and extend in a direction opposite to that of the arm portions. A brake drum lifting arm is removably mounted near the center of the pivot bar and may be used to remove the brake drum of a tire using the wheel lifting arms. Jack means for alternately lifting both the wheel lifting arms and the drum lifting arm are mounted on the frame.
