Anyone know what a tripod slammer is?

[Dingleburry]

Looked onkine cant find anything.
Was reading a manual for an ex lift truck thats about 40 years old. Mentions "you may need to use a tripod slammer" was to remove the wheel hubs or something. Dont remember exactly what it was to remove.
I wanna know what it is! Or looks like!

Isit this thing?

Ahh. I kind of thought that it was a slide hammer of sorts.
Maybe im just a tad too young?
Thanks for quick replies.
Curiousity got the best of me.

It is the old style hub removal tool with a round disc that three heavy duty legs you move around it and there is a double sided striking wrench you put on the hex forcing screw and STRIKE it with a hammer. I have an old Cornwell labeled tool but was probably made by Olde Forge.

My first thought was a three fingered puller attached to a slide hammer.

We have an older one I use on jeeps with a 12lb slider hammer... It makes the job very fast.

I've used'er both was with a screw and my hammer....

There's one for sale on CL near me for $15. But it doesn't include the legs or tee handle. those legs are pricey.

We had a huge slide hammer puller we used to pull axles out of chevy rear ends. The wheel bearings had grooves on the OD with o-rings, and the o-rings would stick to the axle housing and act as buffers, pulling the bearing back in every time you used a slide hammer. We made up our own puller using 4" round stock for the hammer which weighed about 15 lbs. Even then, there were some that we had to use a rosebud on the housing to melt the o-rings to release the axle.
