Does anyone have a recommendation on a good race puller and press for our rear brake drums? I saw a nice one on YouTube, but no brand or part number was given. It was used in conjunction with a pull hammer.
But I'm open to other ideas.
Thanks, Scott
BTW, the local machine shop wants $40 per drum to pull the races..........

Scott,
You don't need a race puller, buy a good quality steel drift and drive to
drive the old races out and a brass one to drive the new races in.
If you wait until I get back to Houston (mid March) and bring all the rear
hubs and new bearings to my storage unit in Huffman I'll replace all of them
in a couple of hours if that long.
Regards,

I have always used a pneumatic panel ripper to drive out the drum's races. My panel ripper has a bunch of different implements so I just choose one with a blunt tip and then come in from the opposite side of the drum. Zzzzziiiippp…and the race is out.

Thanks Rob, I appreciate it.
But I will need to get on it ASAP. I have it up on blocks in the storage unit. Plus I will need a tool to take back to San Diego for my drummed cars back there. But thanks.. Scott.
I used to knock them out with chisels, but that was when you could buy new replacement drums for $20!! Then I would use the old race to pound the new ones in with. But drums on a Camaro and Mustang are smaller and a lot easier to monkey with....these GMC drums are huge!

IIRC, a "drift" is a punch that is tapered rather than straight shanked. It is used to line two holes.

My turn to be pedantic. A drift pin (AKA lineup punch) is a tool for aligning openings so that a pin can be driven into it. What you want is a PUNCH.
Heh heh.
The first time I saw someone here refer to a "drift", I had to look it up. Had never heard a "punch" called a "drift". Go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_(tool) and scroll down to "Drift". The end of the Drift paragraph reads, " Unlike most punches, force is never
(and should never be) applied to the tip, or end of a drift pin."

Another way to remove and install the races is to fit a 3/4 or 1/2" drive socket that is a tad smaller then the race to drive them out. Place the socket in backwards as it is more square this way and put an extension in it then tap with a heavy hammer it will come out easily. Putting the new one in use the old race against the new race making sure it is square and tap it till the old race is up to the bore then remove the old race and tap the rest of the way with the socket till it bottoms.if you do it carefully it will be an easy job and you won't mess up the race . I mostly use a press these days but the old way was never a problem for me.
