Default Underdrive pulley removal tool choices

After researching some old threads I'm trying to decide which route to go with the puller tools.. I see there is an otc6667 that appears to be the best for removing the pulley without removing the radiator. I also see there's an oem 27139, but not sure if you need to remove the radiator for this? I would most likely buy the otc if it's the easiest, but if the oem can be rented and works without radiator removal I'll go that route and save money.. I already have a flex plate lock tool, arp bolt, and install tool bought from a member, so the puller is the last thing I need before install.

Another question I have is what are the chances changing the pulley at 125k miles will cause a leak without changing the seal? I've seen a few threads about leaks but not sure if it was from them heating the pulley or not.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

This is the OTC brand





This is the oem Chrysler style.. can't find a similar pic like the otc but looks similar.


No thoughts? Just want to make sure this will work without removing any other parts like the radiator.. I can get the OTC for $55 and the OEM version I'm sure I could potentially rent.. just want to do this right the first time.. I've read enough horror stories lol

Just figured out that i would only need to use this tool once because the powerbond/slp underdrive that I have needs a threaded style to pull it off when i do heads/cam in the future..so now I'm pushing more for a one time rental.. I will try the OEM version and hope it clears the radiator.. if not looks like it will get some fresh coolant lol..

Bullshit Harbor freight 3 jaw works fine. Not all sizes work, but they have like a 4/6/8" 3 set pack for about 20 bucks I think. Probably use the middle one out of it. They also have a $10 bolt puller set that will work great for your aftermarket balancer. $30 will have you set. I highly recommend the Hawks install tool also.

Thanks man! Gotta love harbor freight! I'll stop in there next time I'm around one and get both sets just to have around for that price
