What are people using for a good quality gear or pulley pullers?
I have a set of little Mastercraft (Canadian Tire tool line/brand) pullers that I've been using for a decade or so. Every time I use them I curse them, and deform and/or break another little part of them. The little holes in the arms are a really neat egg shape now.
I also have another set I "inherited" that are about as old as dirt. Every time I need to break that set out I end up "modifying" something with the hand grinder or hack saw. Starting to be less and less parts to that set...
Anyway, brands and/or things to look for? I want someting that can deal with the small lip on a power steering pulley currently (err, could have used -extreme prejudice has been used to get the b!tch on the road for tomorrow's commute).
I guess something with a thin hook on one end and a mechanism that pulls straight in the line of action. A kit that has different shaped hooks for dealing with wide and narrow pulleys would be nice too.
TIA
