Stihl 090G and BLK gear/sprocket puller

[Bill G]

Years ago Stihl made a very neat tool for pulling the chain sprocket/gear on the 090G and BLK. I have never held one in my hand but I have seen pictures of one. It was one that Bryce Stott had and sold. I should have purchased it but I saw it too late. I am wondering if anyone has one that they can take detailed pictures of. Ideally I would like to trade for or buy one but that is highly doubtful. I would be happy with some pictures and possibly measurements.

There were thousands of 090G's sold here in the USA and still around. In Europe there were many thousands of BLK's so I know folks have had to pull the gears. They know how hard it is to do. In trades years ago, I have gotten a couple that were broken because someone was ham-fisted in trying to pull it.

Hopefully someone has something

I found this picture in another thread, the person said it worked.

This was the only picture I could fine of the original tool.

Thanks for those pictures.

I am sure the first one worked in that one situation but many times the sprocket is so close to the drive case it is almost impossible to get the jaws of a puller under it.

The second puller looks to be the original Stihl one. Not shown but there should be a round band that slips over the top. I will say I am 100% impressed with that picture. It shows the great detail needed. Stihl is very proud of their speciality tools but they design them to do the job, and do it right.

What thread were those pics in?

The best thing I brought was a car steering wheel puller for
I think agout 25.00 dollars New Zealand. As long as the flywheel is drilled and tapped
you can pull two and three holed flywheels.
It saves having a heap of different pullers.

A flywheel is an entirely different animal.

In regards to flywheel pullers about 10 years ago some guys were buying these.........

They were destroying irreplaceable parts with them

I bought one and almost destroyed my flywheel in the process, bought the right one and was good to go. As far as removing the chain drive spur, I use a torch and screwdrivers. Once it was off, I used a blow gun to cool it down.

That black flywheel puller I pictured is a piece of crap. I bought it just to see. I already had a good one from Stihl but I wanted to compare them. There was no comparison.

As for pulling the drive sprockets I have not had much luck using a screwdriver especially on the BLK saws.
