Some other projects of mine take longer than anticipated.

I will at some point go further. I guess I could pull out the
inner race from my 2nd transmission quickly enough.

I pass the torch to you guys for the first half of summer.

This tool works great! Opened up my 265/5 with ease. I heated the case up with a heat gun to about 110 degrees and mounted the puller and then a 3 jaw puller to the pipe and WALLAH. It actually came off BY HAND turning el cheapo HF 3 jaw. Both of my bearings stayed on the shafts.

Thanks for the review Chimi!

I think you guys have figured out I dropped the ball about
repairing the 265. On that end, may I express my utmost
respect to Metric Mechanic for the work they offer on the
265. But boy oh boy, I'm not in the right tax bracket for this
hobby.

Good thing I identified them so one will have a clue what
these are for when it's found under a pile in your garage😁

Hope to hear from you guys. I still have the guinea pig in
the shed.

Soon this thread will be 10 yrs old and still kicking!

Hi Rust im Edoardo from Italy I saw your tool and it’s an amazing job! Is still possible buy one puller from you?
Thank you for your time !
