My seal puller

[angelo c]

I love mine
what have you pulled seals on so far. FYI the larger adapter are for pulling av bushing and holding sumo together also for press vac testing 088 etc.The 3.1 is going to be your go to for seals. Also have to tap the seal with tool before pulling. You might already know this

"tap" is one thing...Ive had to "smash" the Sumbish on at times. to the point where it feels like im doing something wrong. Always warm the seals up some, tap them in and still have little success . Ive tried on everything that I split now just because I am curious. are you "tapping" the "jaws" in first then screwing them on to arms or tapping on the threaded "head" of the tool ?

Not to sound like a smart a$$ but you can use a dry wall screw and a little pry bar and get the same results .Use a sharp pick punch to start a little hole in the metal portion of the seal ,screw it in and pull it out .--simple things from a simple man --

A slide hammer is handy for a number of things .I've got a couple,home made .

Made this one for the little 026 seal. But works great on the others too.

I fit them to the puller first

I fit them to the puller first then tap over each shoulder
of the puller until they;r in & under

so you hammer them down under the lip and guess how low is "good enough" ?
got it...

Yep!,just as you see the puller leg flared skirt under the inner lip of the seal
then turn the outrigger screws in hard,and spin the unit on its axis while turning
down the puller threads!

Older thread but I’ve also had limited success with the Stihl puller. I even have gone by the manual on what jaws and the pulling process. Some pop right out the next one fights. Yes I tap the seal to break loose before trying puller

This has worked the best for me so far. Sometimes you need to turn the bolt/nut 180° to clear the crank, but it always pulls the seal out

I'm still using my tiny slide hammer with different screws. One to punch the hole and another to remove the seal. Won't work on Bak-a-lite plastic so they get the screw driver hooker.
