Built with adjustable claws and locking hardware, the tool centers on the shaft and applies steady force so parts come off cleanly in tight engine bays. The set works with hand tools (17mm wrench or 3\/8\" square drive) and is optimized for confined spaces where larger pullers won't fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this puller prevent damage to pulleys and shafts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses opposing adjustable claws that grasp the pulley lip securely and draw it off evenly, reducing side loading on the shaft and taper.
