Any of us LT1 guys have this tool? It's a Kent Moore j-39046. It makes removing and installing the crank hub a breeze. Just want to know if anybody has one they'd let me borrow before I consider buying one.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Can't you just use a threaded rod? That's what I used to put the crank hub back on mine.

Make sure whatever you use is bottomed out in the crank and you'll be fine. Use a normal puller with a short piece of threaded rod bottomed out in the crank as the surface the puller pushes against. To install, longer piece of same rod with a bunch of washers and a nut works really well in my experience. Again, the key to making sure your threads stay in tact is to make sure the threaded food is bottomed out so the stress is on the crank and not the threads themselves.

So is what you are saying is, basically get a bolt the same size and thread pitch as the crank bolt? Then allow a nut to push the hub in? This makes it much simpler... Thank you so greatly.Originally posted by birdie2000 View Postsigpic

Yes, but the bolt either has to be super long or you should just use threaded rod. The problem with too short of a bolt is that once the hub comes out a bit it'll hit the bolt head, forcing you to have to back the bolt out thus it is no longer bottomed out into the crank and the stress is now on the threads.

Sometimes when they are really ****ed I'll use an air hammer. You just can't be a ***** about it is all
