"Conclusion: Soak the rotor/wheel mount interface with penetrating oil, use gradual torque [20-40 ft-lbs] on the Jaw Puller (WELL BELOW THE SPEC LIMIT), be patient, and use a hammer to tap the rotor during removal - it helps to loosen the bond between the interface and gives you something to do so as to not get bored."
"The problem I face is the plate I needed to pull off a hub is 14" in diameter and it was very, very difficult to get the jaws to spread that far. It would be nice if they gave you a planning guide on lining up the job with the puller and offered the extra long capability as separate models."
"This puller was able to remove a pulley that the press couldn't so I'm happy with this even though I've never spent this much on a hand tool before."
"I used to have a big problem trying to hold a 3 finger puller together , I used rubber bands but it still was hard to hold it in place until it tightened, those days are gone , it was expensive compared to the other pullers but a lot easier and safer to use, no more flying apart when one of the jaws slipped off, I will never go back to the old pullers without the ease and safety of this type of puller."
"Excellent strong top quality made."
"This puller saved the day for me."
It pulls CV joints on 1986-current Taurus/Sable. Tool is available with fork only, C.V. joint slide hammer assembly or just the slide hammer extension.

It is more difficult when the unit is inside the fender area and suspension components are are interfering with movement of the sliding hammer."
"Make sure you unbolt the little cover on driver side's differential to be able to fit the fork behind the cv joint."
"In order to get this puller in place I found that the strut is right in the way for a straight pull. I ended up removing the brake assembly and steering knuckle off off the lower end of the strut and then using a come-along to pull the strut forward enough to get a straight alignment on the puller."
"It works for utv and did what I need it to do.was having a heck of a time getting the old cvc shaft off of the machine and it worked with 5 pulls and it came of no problem.Good tool to have in my shop for next time."
"great for pulling on axles/half shafts and bearings if you have the right tools, im a big guy, i reamed on it and stayed solid, definitely reccomend."
"Worked like a champ to pull some axles out of my Polaris ranger."
"This is too large to pull a Volkswagen inner CV."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Although it has a rather large "female" fitting to attach it to a "slide-hammer"; I solved the problem by going to my local vendor of "nuts & bolts" and buying the correct size of bolt to fit the "female" fitting."
"The jaws are too big for 4-cyl engine (smaller transmission input shaft diameters) applications, but it has worked fine on V6/V8 larger transmission jobs."
"Wow..."
"Worked perfectly on my 98 mustang gt pilot bearing."
"looks well made but too large for a .550 dia."

Find Best Price at Amazon"A ton of maintenance items need to be performed (AC overhaul, Power Steering, Rear Main Seal, Electrical issues, and a little body work) but are well within my abilities. I soaked the thing in PB Blaster, hit the sides and the puller bolt with a 3lb sledge, applied heat, and only managed to bend the 2 pullers rented from Autozone and Advance Auto. I removed it from the standard, "No Frills", packaging and applied some synthetic grease to the threads just to ensure everything would go smoothly."
"The Mercedes pitman is on really tightly and takes some real tension to get it to remove. Method I used was to tighten the tension on the puller and then tap the pitman with a small hammer."
"Don't get me wrong, it was still a PITA to get the pitman arm off, but I never would have gotten it off if it were not for this tool."
"I had to use a breaker bar initially, but just as i thought the threads on this thing had stripped, Much to my surprise, the pitman arm just fell off."
"I tried using a pickle fork, a "3 pronged" traditional puller, a hammer, penetrating oil, and heat to try and remove the large pitman arm from my early saginaw power steering box."
"I bought this puller after doing tons of research on which one would be best for pulling the pitman arm on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. The main thing with forcing bolt style puller is to keep the threads lubricated."
"If you need to get a pitman arm off this is the real deal.Do,nt even mess around with those two arm pullers and hope that it does not snap the arms off.This puller is nice and heavy and THICK just make sure you lube the jack forcing screw with good chassis grease because its going to get HOT this weakens the forcing screw threads and strip out happens.no more cheap pullers to buy now that I have this BAD BOY!"
