can somebody point me in the direction to find a blue chip gear puller.I just got my new vp/44 and will be installing it soon.this puller looks like my best bet as not to crack anything while pulling gear off. my truck is a 1999.DCT.

THANKS FOR ANY INFO

save yourself the wad of cash they want for that thing and go to northern tool and get a 4 dollar steering wheel puller. I just did my vp earlier this week with one and had to pull two gears off with it. Worked fine for me and it does not press on the timing cover at all. Two bolts go in the gear and the center big bolt press against the axle shaft of the vp. Use the bolts out of the intake to thread into the vp gear.

 

I used one of these.
Cheap, available most anywhere, and worked like a champ.

 

I used a steering wheel puller from pep boys for about $7.

 

....and the other "hot tip" is to get a couple studs to screw into the gear instead of the bolts. Makes it alot easier.

 

I tried that, they were no help at all..............

 

....I KNEW I should have said "two 4" pieces of threaded ready rod"!!

 

Now dat's funny
