Hello Derek. It's August now, and I have a 1918 and not a 1914, but perhaps a bad answer is better than none. I pulled my rear hubs to get to the brakes bands. On my car the brake drum, wooden spokes and rim are all on one piece. I used a cup-shaped puller that screwed down onto the same threads where you screw the hub cap in place. It was a Model-T ford hub puller that I borrowed from a friend. In the bottom of the cup there was a threaded hole with a bolt that needed a 1 7/32 inch socket of all things, which i got on Ebay. A normal socket wrench was not strong enough and I ended up needing what we call here a lazy man's arm, that is a 1 meter long bar with a 3/4" socket head at the end, that fitted into the socket. I turned it a few times with no response until suddenly there was a big bang and the hub jumped loose along with a little cloud of what I hope was not asbestos dust. My hub caps are 2 1/2" wide, but I forget the tpi. With luck the T-Ford puller will fit yours too, but in the worst case you can get one turned up. Let us know how it goes. Dave.
