Troubleshooting
Sprocket does not detach
Ensure the force screw is properly centered and the puller arms are securely gripping the sprocket. Check for any obstructions or secondary locking mechanisms on the sprocket or pump. Verify correct tool application for the specific engine.
Puller arms slipping
Reposition the puller arms to ensure maximum grip on the sprocket. Clean both the sprocket and puller arms of any oil or grease. Ensure the force screw is not over-tightened initially, which can cause the arms to flex outwards.
Force screw difficult to turn
Apply a penetrating lubricant to the force screw threads and allow it to soak. Clean any debris from the threads. Ensure the screw is aligned correctly and not cross-threading.
Tool shows signs of rust
Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light machine oil to protect the surface. Store the tool in a dry place away from moisture.
