I'm baffled on this one, I don't understand why the conventional type drum puller doesn't apply here, it can apply more force than the type that screws on the end of the drum. Nevertheless, I speak with Mr. Balfour regularly, you can reach him at 269-424-5768.
Why is it that the conventional type can't be used? Here's one just dummied up on an early Packard 6-lug wheel; if I had to do an 8-lug wheel I'd probably borrow a 4th leg to even the force - the legs from Herbrand and Proto and probably many of the clones interchange. As you might be able to see, there's plenty of room for the legs to accommodate a larger bolt circle. If you look at the ears on mine, you can judge that it's removed some might stubborn drums over the years.
