I've got one of the heavy duty type, but the centre bolt snapped a while back so I've bored out the centre and re-tapped it even bigger with a top quality high-tensile bolt.

all about the heavy duty KAD flywheel puller, stands up to 15 mins of use of an impact gun!

I must have 3 or 4 flywheel pullers of different makes & types, and the one which is most used is a Sykes & Pickavent... mainly because the thread on the main bolt is a lot finer, therefore allows you to put a lot more pressure on the flywheel without resorting to long poles or impact guns.

Just checked all those links, and those SP ones are not the same as the one I use.. so checked S&P catalog

Mine is the 'Universal Flywheel Puller' part number 08510100

Fits both manual flywheels and also torque converters, and the 'force bolt' is MUCH bigger...

Mine is a 12" square X 3/4" thick steel - holes drilled for the 3 fixing bolts, and a large nut welded over a clearance hole drilled in the centre - with a 1" diameter bolt fitted. It has never failed me yet........
