I had to get my primary and secondary off to replace the recalled starter. I got the secondary bolt off with a ratchet strap and used the same method for the outer piece of the primary. The inner sheave was of course not coming off without the clutch puller tool. I ordered one from Holtz on Saturday and it was on my front porch today when I got home.
I watched the video on here from airdam and it looked easy enough. I hit the puller tool with my 1/2 inch cordless dewalt impact and it didn't budge.
Ok, some guys have said they had to tap on it pretty hard to get it to pop off. I fugged with that thing over and over. Killed 2 batteries beat the hell out of the sheave with a wood block and hammer. Recharged the batteries and kept at it.
Looked on the forum and saw that someone recommended to put a little grease on the tip of the puller tool, tried that, no luck.
I honestly didn't think it was going to come off. Then I remembered when I first joined the forum, reading that filling the void that the puller tool goes in with grease, caused enough pressure to help it pop off.
So I grabbed my grease gun and filled it up, wrapped the threads of the puller tool with tephlon tape and tried one more time.
It popped like nothing was even bound up.
Whoever posted that tip, thanx a bunch!
Had the starter out in about 10 minutes after cleaning the grease up.(it's not easy to get to the bolt holding it in).
