Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the bolts that correctly thread into the harmonic balancer or flywheel. Consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.
- Attach the chosen bolts to the balancer/flywheel, ensuring they are securely fastened.
- Fit the yoke over the component, aligning the bolt holes.
- Thread the 130mm thrust bolt through the center of the yoke and into the crankshaft snout (if applicable and accessible) or a designated center hole.
- Use a wrench to tighten the thrust bolt. This will gradually pull the component off its shaft.
Compatibility:
This set is designed to be compatible with a wide range of vehicles. The size spread of the yoke is 40mm to 93mm. The extensive list of SAE and metric bolts provides broad coverage. However, always verify the thread size and pitch of the component you intend to pull against the included hardware. For extremely specialized or very new vehicles, custom solutions or manufacturer-specific tools might be required.
Care:
- After each use, clean the puller components and bolts with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
- Store all parts in the provided case to prevent loss and corrosion.
- Lightly oil metal components, especially the thrust bolt threads, to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Regularly inspect the yoke and bolts for any signs of wear or damage.
