It’s not worth it to buy these. They might work once or twice before completely breaking down.
As I recall, I used this to remove drums from a Fox body. I imagine it depends on the size of the rotors. I found it to be very helpful on those platforms. Measure the height and width to make sure it goes wide enough.
It is a very well built tool that I use for industrial maintenance
They are a total waste of money, don't buy them
Selected User Reviews For ABN 3in 3-Jaw Gear Puller – Gear Removal Tool for Slide Gears, Pulley, and Flywheel
I have no complaints about the tool. The whole point of this tool is to allow for adjustment. Some individuals have complained about the loose bolts and need for jam nuts. I've been using this type of bolt puller for about 15 years now, and I've never had a problem with a bolt coming out or falling off. A small amount of finger tightness is sufficient. The fact that you need to know how to use this tool when you order it implies you understand its usage, since it is not a simple screw driver that can be used by everyone. You may not be able to use it for every application you have, but you will at least be able to use it for 90 percent of them, and that's pretty impressive when you consider that it will last you for years even if you are a professional daily user.
However, I was pretty naive to assume that it would be as simple as adding fresh oil and a spark plug. However, I realized that I need to remove the flywheel well past the point where I first got to the store and internet searches provided all kinds of information on how to do this. The device I finally chose is wonderful, and I'm glad I made that decision. All was well when that thing popped it off with a big bang. I find this to be a much more efficient technique than using a tap and die. Hopefully I will have more opportunities to use this puller in the future since it is very well made and of excellent quality.
The next I can throw them in the woods, they will probably end up in the woods as well. A single attempt was made to use it. Under load, the bolt holes in the connecting arms between the jaws and the stud elongated unevenly, making it impossible for the stud to be cranked while in the straight-on In response, I am no longer able to tighten to any extent as the jaws are not sitting evenly on the pulling surface.
As far as tools on Amazon go, I tend to trust the poor reviews regardless of the numbers that have appeared. There are some people who use tools who I think are those folks.
I pounded the wheel hub on my old garden cart with a sledgehammer for 2 1/2 hours (it had started out as a wheel. took a two-day break and ordered a puller, unaware I was unable to keep the puller shaft connected to the axel the first time I tried it. I drilled a dimple in the end of the axel, and with a few turns, I was able to solve my problem! I always find it surprising just how important it is to choose the right tool. The tool is great! My only hope is that I will be able to locate it in my nightmare of a garage the next time.
Once unboxed, I found the product to be cheaply made, and I noticed that the tips started to bend (the metal bent) after the first use. A tool that was broken actually made it difficult for me to remove my Jeep's driver's hub. There was a problem with the metal pulleys. I didn't even have to do that heavy of a job Don't recommend this unless you can deal with a very lightweight task.
I purchased this smaller puller to remove the crank arms on my bike and it works great. They have hooks that are not too thick and can be easily turned around in relation to the screws bolt points, which results in a shorter distance between them and the screw bolt. In addition to installing self locking nuts on all bolts, I will also reinstall the anchor It is important to loosen the nuts only enough to allow free movement of the arms, but the nuts tend to become too loose very easily while the tool is being used. Among the larger size pullers offered by this manufacturer, I will not hesitate to invest.
A set of three jaw pullers like this can be very useful. In each puller, there are two positions for the jaws to grasp, so that the screw can be positioned as close as possible against the center shaft. The jaws can be set to grasp the outside of the wheel rim, or between spokes to grasp the inside. Compared to other pullers, the price for this set is very low. It is important to understand that the bolts holding the jaws have to be tightened only finger tight, and the shaft over which a puller screw is to be secured should be protected with a few washers, a short piece of pipe, or a socket of appropriate size. As soon as the pressure is applied, the hammer blow on the head of the screw should be used to begin the pulling of the pulled hub, gear, pulley, etc.
However, it does the job as an emergency fix. There was a pulley that stuck fast to the motor shaft that I had to remove. A 3" and a 4" puller were used. The result was crude, but it worked). It is hard for me to think of any other pros to these gizmos It has a lot of play in the mechanism, simple bolts and plain nuts are used for the pins and if you don't pay attention, they will work themselves free whenever you set the jaws or remove them. It even did the job, which is why it received.
