Get a Chrysler puller. It has the longer shaft that goes into the crank. Makes damage to the crank less likely and is long enough. I damaged the end of the crank using a socket with the AutoZone pulley. Didn't harm anything, but it wasn't long enough, hence my using the socket to fit down onto the end of the crank.

I have used this puller and shaft protector countless times and have never had any snout damage or puller issues. OTC makes a some nice tools.

I use my pullers for a lot of other jobs so having a 2-3 jaw puller I can use in multiple scenarios is what I want out of my puller. The Chrysler puller is limited to this type of job only. Both will get the job done with out making a hack job out of your crank snout.

I have used the otc chrysler puller 100 times on chryslers. Its a compact design and from searching it's the best one to fit. The rods are rounded and stiff, has no chance of messing up the threads or any part of the crank.

I broke that style of puller, so I looked for a differnet one and was really happy with this puller. G&G Technics GGT-180. I did a youtube tool review on how it works.

No, I should check into that. I did contact the company to see if I could purchase another arm or set of arms because they come off with a pull of a pin, but I never got a response from them. You would think they could make some extra cash replacing the part because I have seen a few other people break it just like I did.

Not to necro-post, but I can't find the GGT-180 anywhere here in the US. Where did you get it?

Just in case anyone else stumbles here, I contacted G&G Technics via email and this was their response:

We are building up distributors in the USA and you can buy the Tool from ‘Liberty Engine Parts’ and I see they have a store in Massachusetts which is the closest one to you.

(Contact information withheld based on forum rules for non-vendors)

If you have any trouble, let me know and I will put you on to the warehouse in California who will be able to fix you up.

Pretty awesome they got back to me so fast.
