I was planning on replacing the seal on the fan side of the main shaft but I am having some trouble getting the fan hub.
For now, I have applied some penetrant liquid on it and I will let it soak some time, but then, what is the best way to get it off. Lightly prying it off going around? I guess that a puller would be useful, but I only have a very large puller that does not fit there. Can I apply some heat in trying to get it off? Any other tricks or advice? Thanks  |

A steering wheel puller does work if it's a three prong/hole version. But, it also needs to be the right size. A two hole version won't really cut it.
Or an harmonic balancer puller of the right size. Either way this job can justify getting another new tool. But, if you don't have the right tool, a piece of sheet metal works, even if it pisses off those with all the right tools. |
