Pinion extension housing puller

Postby HAbeagle » Mon Jul 18, 2022 11:40 am

Help.......My HA Beagle rear pinion extension housing is firmly stuck on the shaft fit...no success with prybar/wedges etc.

Problem with using traditional pullers as the housing has nothing for the legs to grip on.
Any info on the long-legged puller required?...I can see it's a vauxhall tool...can't find one with long-enough legs anywhere.....

It needs to come off to replace the pinion oil seal.....

Any help welcomed...
Thanks
Cliff

I changed the seal on my HB a few weeks ago and also had no luck with pulling and prying until I tapped it with a hammer around the edge a few times.

I'll give it a try...maybe a bit of gas-heat might loosen it a bit also
Current plan is to clamp a pipe-clamp around the housing and use that as purchase for a puller...
