VP44 - Gear Pulling Method

[aceisme]

In the middle of changing my injector pump, we realize we don't have any way to pull the pump gear. While calling AZ, a friend of mine ran outside, and came back in holding the rear tow hook we pulled from the engine. Turns out with a little bit of grinding, two sockets, and the two shortest air horn bolts he Rednecked a gear puller and helped save the day. Check this out.

Grind the holes about a 16th of an inch inboard, and it fits.

P.S. This is the friend, hope this helps someone out. I wasn't sure it'd work, but if it helps us get this truck finished today it'll be worth being called a redneck for the rest of the week.

This is said redneck friend, pass this around. Hope it works for everyone else as well as it did us. I love fabricating tools we need, FREE.99 and worked like a charm. And I agree, Git R Done.

You may now don your blue and white striped engineers cap!

I'll remember that one when my VP44 craps out on me...

THAT'S GOOD ENGINEERING!

Gary could I ask what is that? Is that a fuel pump or what?? I can't tell really...

That's the electronic sender for my Westach fuel pressure guage - I was just amazed that a nearly identical item was used as it was in this thread - shucks, I don't evem know what the original function was for the one I used - I just fished it out of my junk box when I was installing my guages...

Here's a shot from a different perspective:
