Abstract:
A device for pulling a wheel from a wheel hub, the device comprising:a frame having a threaded hole therethrough;a retainer removably engageable with the wheel hub;a threaded shaft rotatably engaged with the threaded hole, a first end of the threaded shaft being rotatably engaged with the retainer;a plurality of flexible wheel fasteners, each of the wheel fasteners comprising a first end affixed to the frame and a second end, the second ends of the wheel fasteners being releasably attachable to the wheel at points of generally equal radial distance from the axis of rotation of the wheel, the points being generally equidistant from each other along a generally circular path defined by the radial distance;whereby the threaded shaft may be rotated to urge the frame away from the wheel hub, thus exerting a force upon the wheel through the wheel fasteners.
