VP44 - Gear Pulling Method

aceisme · 07-19-2006, 01:01 PM

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 love that

I make my share of "tools" on the job from whatever I can scrounge up or bum from the other trades

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

THAT'S GOOD ENGINEERING!

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:
