I have found this to be the case with the cheaper ones, the snap on puller though you can usually just impact the puller and let it do it’s thing.IME, usually need heat and impact together with the puller... or you risk snapping the puller.
Yeah I went through one of O'reillys pullers getting my pitman arm off, second, with a lot of heat, was the charm. I don't have actual torches just one of those copper pipe soldering ones... must've stood there for a half an hour or more applying heat all around before it finally popped.IME, usually need heat and impact together with the puller... or you risk snapping the puller.
Cubey that is the puller I have. I will also heat it up with a MAP torch. I also bought my replacement autozone. It is really tight. I can’t rotate the input shaft by hand. Can I expect to lose a lot of oil when I disconnect the lines?
In all your under the hood stuff did you bump the wire off the shut off solenoid on the IP?I changed mine out yesterday. Not so bad. Now the truck won’t start. Cranks fine and I have fuel coming out the Schrader valve.
