Tap on the collar to get it off the snap ring, remove the snap ring and the collar, and the bendix. Replace the bendix put the collar on, then the snap ring in the groove, then snap the collar over the snap ring using the bendix turning backwards to push against the collar. Probably clear as mud but...

Interesting, a black M151 with no markings!

On my three legged puller, the legs have holes in them and you put them on the lug bolts, secure them with the lug nuts instead of on the outside of the hub. After tightening it down if you hit it on the end of the center bolt, the hub will usually pop off.

The three legged ones work fine, I have an old one that I've used since the 70's and its not failed me!

Bob you'd make a good presidential candidate with your mishandling of classified information. Might as well throw your hat into the ring!

No argument with disc brakes being better than drum brakes, though the look of the disc brakes in the ad looks like a nightmare to repair. The modern ones have evolved in simplicity of replacement, and I'm all about simplicity. Good engineering to me is easier repair with common tools, and ability t...
