Default What size gear puller

Hi there,

I'm looking to replace the belts and seals on my 951. Does anyone know what size gear puller I'll need (75mm, 100, 150 or 200)?

Many thanks and a happy new year!
Alex

gear puller? Shouldnt need a gear puller at all- every one ive done i zip the bolt out w/ an impact and if you wiggle them you can pull them right off.

I used a puller with adjustable-sized claws (cheapo Sears model). It wasn't hard to pull them off, so I'm not sure you need an 'exact' size. One thing that helped me was to screw the bolt back into the shaft to give the puller something better to push against and get a better fit of the puller.

Thanks guys... the gear pullers I'm looking at are adjustable but you need to get the approximate size right... any idea whether its in the 75, 100, 150 or 200mm range?

Thanks!

I just did this on a northern car, and still had no issue pulling them off by hand, factory manual also says to pull them off by hand.
