Cantrell-Miller Dust Cap Puller

Post by Pep C Strebeck » Fri Jan 03, 2020 5:45 pm

These are just some more photos of the tool that I was fortunate enough to find as mentioned in my previous thread ( viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9482 ). As I had mentioned in the previous thread, I have only seen these in original trade publications, the image below coming from the April 1919 volume of the Automobile Trade Journal, published by the Chilton Company.

This is a serious piece of tooling for just removing a dust cap.

The bar with the 3 nibs on it is what actually grabs the dust cap and does the pulling. The 2 nibs at the left end (in the photos) fit through the main body of the casting and is held in place with a set screw. Once the end grabs the lip of the dust cap you tighten the set screw and the T-handle screw and then crank away.
