3 arm pulley puller? If you have anywhere near the same size pulley as us v8 guys, then I'd say just get the 2 arm pulley puller that you can find at almost any autozone, advanced auto...type place. They are MUCH easier to set up. Those 3 arms for me were almost impossible to get secured down.

First off bro...been around the site along time...Have a Formula and have had 1 TA and another formula before this one I have now. My car is a sleeper hence the SN..

Iv enever used the 2 arm stuff and would be worried it would pull crooked. I was looking for someone to confirm a 6" arm puller would work.

Not certain what the size was, however, the rent-a-tool autozone 3-arm puller worked fine for me on my stock pulley and my ASP underdrive. This past time I used one of the screw in puller. I think I like it a little better.

The holes are a different offset on the March pullies, you can't use a screw in puller. I've had my March pulley on and off more times than my car has been driven and I always had to use the BFP (Big F'ing Puller) mod.
