Claim:
A pulling tool adapted to separate a removable wheel element from a stationary wheel mounting member, the tool comprising: an elongated main support body having a set of retention holes on opposite ends thereof, and a handle projecting therefrom; an actuator stem member threadably mounted in the support body; a pair of jaw members slidably mounted on opposite sides of the support body, the jaw members having hook portions adapted to engage an outer periphery of the wheel element removably mounted on the wheel mounting member, and detents engageable in the retention holes when the hook portions are engageable with the wheel element; and a pair of tubular holders slidably mounted on opposite sides of the support body and retained against outer faces of the jaw members to prevent lateral outward movement of the jaw members on the support body and to orient the jaw members substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the support body.
