Does anyone happen to have a primary gear puller for our Ducati engines. I want it for a 900 SS engine but I know it’s the same for a huge array of Duc engines. If you have one that you’re prepared to sell please drop me a PM. Thanks.
I might just try the asking to borrow if I haven’t managed to pick up a pre-enjoyed one by the time I need it, will be in the next couple of months.
I was too right to buy the special one. Tried my existing 2 leg puller and had no luck. I'm the end I bought a beefier 2 leg puller. Sealey Ak46150 Twin Leg Puller Bar Type 150 X 150Mm https://amzn.eu/d/bPBz6h3 This one just fits and worked a treat. Just leave the loosened nut on the shaft as they go with a big bang.
Also a good technique is to add tension with the puller and then a firm whack with a plastic mallet to get it to go.
I will try that puller you suggest I have tried my 3 jaw on it with the usual techniques, boiling water, sharp tap etc but it’s obviously not up to the job, I broke my trusty old 2 jaw on another job a while ago, that used to get these primary gears off. Cheers.
