Opened up the new OMC puller today. Looked nice, but not as “beefy” as what I was using.
Installed the puller on the flywheel, snugged up the shoulder bolts, then proceeded
to tighten the center bolt with my air impact. Nothing happened, so I got out the
breaker bar and cheater pipe. Was only able to tighten up a tiny bit more, and still
nothing happened. Put the air impact back on, and ………. Finally!!!!
………. One of the shoulder bolts snapped. 🙁
Soooooooooo, I spent $85 and I’m still no further ahead….. in fact, behind, as the
bolt broke off half way down the hole, and I’m minus one shoulder bolt now.
Was not in the mood to try to get the broken bolt out today.
Prepare to be boarded!
