Yeah buddy, @Stump Shot ,you weren't kidding!

That worked pretty darned good!

Hey @Duke Thieroff was excited to use this tool again on a 10-10 piston right up until I saw it had a blind piston pin in it(no hole). Any words of wisdom before I head to the arbor press?

@Stump Shot

Now that's one I'm gonna have to think about. I had never considered that even though some Macs and others used to be designed like that.

On first thought I think that job will be reserved for a press because of the way this particular tool works.

That's really a good call out, let me know what you end up with bud!

Mark! What's up buddy?

Yep, those are a great little tool as well and pretty similar to the Poulan style one.

Ever made any use of it?

Hey Duke...Yepper, go-to tool on certain equipment, by using small collars over the stepped down pin it can also remove/install bearings as well.

Thought I would show pulling the seal out of the PTO side bearing of a PM700, using a F.I.T. seal puller off of eBay. Made pretty short work of it.

How do you like it?

I like it just fine most of the time. Of course chainsaws being so different there are times when it is not so easy. There is a similar tool made by Stihl that I think can be gotten from D.Dave at CCC's or there is a Chinese knock off that HLSUPPLY has for quite a bit less money.
