Removing crank hub spacer

<< < (3/3)

Dunc the Funk:
Hope to get on to it tomorrow or over weekend. If I don't get it off I will post a pic from the front. I need to drain & remove the trans too so best do that first to enable holding the crank still while undoing the bolt.

Dunc the Funk:
Well the bolt did not push the spacer off because it ran out of thread before the flange reached the spacer. Two legged puller won't fit as not enough space between bolt head & spacer.
Looks like 7/16" tap will do holes ok so I may be able to fab a puller tool, but I may give the grease/dowel a try first.

Dunc the Funk:
Grease did not work, I guess its because the area under the front lip was not enough.
So I tapped 2 of the 3/8" holes to 7/16" UNF as I have good taper & bottom taps for that.
Then I fabbed a simple puller from some 1"x1" angle iron with a nut welded under the middle hole & it pulled off nicely.
