Gear puller

Hi all



I need to replace my bearings. Do I need one of those fancy, very VW specific, pullers for VW cranks or can I do with a regular claw type?



If I needed the tool more than once or twice or the tool wasn't expensive (it is $60-90) as it is, I'd get one. Unless you tell me I can screw the crank up by using a claw type, I'd rather have that money go towards a new case, which I will get next month. If I do need one, what's the best price out there? This way, you can borrow it from me any time :)



Thanks! Remco

I have some we'll sell for $25, brand new. This is a blowour RAMVA special.

John's offer seems really tempting.

I've been using a cheap 3-claw puller, I filed the claws a little thinner to allow them to fit properly.

Heat the gear with a small gas torch and it will come off easier.

Thanks. John hooked me up so I'm all set. Was debating to use a claw puller, but didn't want to bugger up the brass gear - for $25 I don't have to worry about it.

Sounded like a blowour deal. :-)

After reading the thread again, I see what you mean -- That's funny! (I do hope it wasn't a freudian slip :)

I should have been an editor. Or not. Happy Easter, early. :-)
