I have not had good results when fitting a puller to this engine , which has never had pinion off.
The three jaw pullers simply slide off the pinion after coming up to a modest torque.
I have ground the jaws to better profiles, but it seems the clamping force of the jaws is the issue.
Do I need to introduce heat to the pinion?
Maybe get it glowing hot ?
I have purchased a new puller as shown, which seems to match the pic at Andover.
The new puller has an end that will fit inside the hollow scooped crank end.
Will this be an issue?
