the last one was a joke. sorry! couldn't help myself :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
we call them "back-street" mechanics here. seriously though, the local engine rebuilders who are now the largest in europe whack them as well!
the idea is to get it all loosened up. i don't use a steel hammer but a dead blow on the crank.
i use the steel hammer on the 3-leg.
as a younger man i was tryiong to get a gear off the end of my ducati crank and so i put the 3-leg on. it was a big one, for lorries i think and in the middle it had a 'super' screw that was mega fine thread.
lord knows wgat i didn't wind it up too! now i would put some heat into it but i was young and foolish then. anyway, i wound it up on the main, then the super and finally hit it with a hammer a few times. it. would. not. go!!!!
anyway, i was peering down, getting my face right in there, searching and prodding. closing one eye and looking down the middle.
suddenly!
doosh!!!!!!!!!!
the puller complete with gear went whistling past me and landed between two cars in the workshop, it had cleared the bonnet!
SOME SAY IT COULD HAVE DONE MY LOOKS NO HARM.
some tell the truth!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
