Anyone in the Oakland area got a Puller I can borrow?

[GetOuttaMyWay]

I need to yank the crankshaft pulley off my s14. If anyone in the area has a pulley puller that I can borrow I'll gladly compensate you with beer.

Try gently tapping with a dead blow at the 4 corners.

Has worked for me in the past.

Good Luck

by deadblow you mean a regular old BFH (big f'n hammer)? Or one of those slide hammer jobbies?

[albawhore]

Dead blow is like a rubber mallet with lead beads inside. It is much stronger than a rubber mallet but does not leave marks like BFH.

Source at any parts store.

Hmm well I just tried to attack it with my 5lb (iron) hammer and there's no way to really get a good swing at it since most of the block is in the way. I'm always down with using a hammer and block to avoid buying specialty tools, but I'm thinking this job might need an actual puller.

i just bought an authentic original asian knock-off of a hub puller complete with plastic case on ePay. my 2-jaw puller just wasn't up to it on this particular set. no amount of PB Blaster and heat and time, would make it budge. i still had to whack it (the tool) with a hammer too.

i work by the oakland airport, but i'm off work this week so you'd have to wait till next week.

Jerry- Cool. I was tempted to buy one of those ebay pullers for like $10, but then I'd have to get a bigger tool box to store it, etc etc. I can meet you after work sometime next week if you're down. I just finished my last keg of homebrew *burp* but I can hook you up with some beers or something.

I borrowed a puller from the Kragen by my office today. They let me rent it for $6, not bad. So I won't need your rig Jerry, but thanks again for the offer.

hey, i ain't letting you off the hook that easy. a glass of cool (not cold) homebrew sounds like a great treat before the commute home.

oh well, have one for me. that's not a bad rental fee. the local rental here wanted $10 and i figured i'd need it again in the future so i paid $50 and change for mine. at least it came in a nice plastic case.

Well I'll let you know when the next batch of homebrew is good to go, maybe have a local talk'n shit about 02's and drinking session one evening then send you back down the road.
