Gear puller

Hi all

I need to replace my bearings. Do I need one of those fancy, very VW
specific, pullers for VW cranks or can I do with a regular claw type?

If I needed the tool more than once or twice or the tool wasn't
expensive (it is $60-90) as it is, I'd get one.
Unless you tell me I can screw the crank up by using a claw type, I'd
rather have that money go towards a new case, which I will get next
month.
If I do need one, what's the best price out there? This way, you can
borrow it from me any time

Thanks!
Remco

I have some we'll sell for $25, brand new. This is a blowour RAMVA special.

John's offer seems really tempting.

I've been using a cheap 3-claw puller, I filed the claws a little
thinner to allow them to fit properly.

Heat the gear with a small gas torch and it will come off easier.

Thanks.
John hooked me up so I'm all set.
Was debating to use a claw puller, but didn't want to bugger up the brass
gear - for $25 I don't have to worry about it.

After reading the thread again, I see what you mean -- That's funny!
(I do hope it wasn't a freudian slip

I should have been an editor. Or not. Happy Easter, early. :-)
