Camshaft Sprocket Puller Tool for Ford, Citroën, and Peugeot Diesel Engines

Brief Overview

This is a precision three-leg puller engineered specifically for removing camshaft sprockets on Ford, Citroën, and Peugeot diesel engines. The tool employs a simple yet effective yoke-and-bolt design that engages the sprocket with controlled, even pressure—eliminating the risk of damage to the pulley or surrounding components that can occur with improvised extraction methods. If your shop regularly services these powerplants, this tool is an essential addition to your lineup. Consider pairing it with a universal camshaft locking tool set for comprehensive timing work, or explore our diesel injector extraction solutions for complete diesel engine service capabilities.

Key Features

• Three-point engagement design – Forked hooks distribute pulling force evenly across the sprocket, preventing stress concentration and damage
• Precision-machined yoke – Zinc-plated steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance in workshop environments
• Central forcing bolt with pressure tip – Threaded mechanism allows controlled, gradual sprocket removal without shock loads
• Hex head for standard wrench interface – No specialized tools required; works with metric or standard wrenches for torque application
• Damage-free extraction – Specifically engineered to prevent pulley distortion, cracking, or bearing damage during removal

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-frequency application – These engine families are prolific in European fleet maintenance, service networks, and independent shops
• Specialty tool demand – Mechanics cannot safely extract these sprockets without proper tooling; this positions your inventory as essential
• Low damage claim risk – Proper tooling reduces botched jobs and warranty callbacks; your customers benefit from professional results
• Competitive margin opportunity – Specialty diesel engine tools command better margins than generic hand tools
• Builds customer loyalty – Shops that invest in correct tooling tend to consolidate all their specialist purchases with one trusted distributor

Why This Tool Matters

Camshaft sprocket removal on these diesel platforms is a precision task. Incorrect extraction methods—leverage with a flat-head screwdriver, hammer strikes, or undersized pullers—routinely result in:

• Pulley bearing damage (expensive crankshaft seal replacement)
• Sprocket cracking (engine block removal required)
• Camshaft damage (full engine rebuild)

This three-leg design eliminates guesswork. The yoke's geometry centers the load, the threaded bolt provides mechanical advantage without shock, and the pressure tip distributes force safely. For a mechanic working on Ford Fiesta engines or Peugeot HDi platforms, this tool is the difference between a 30-minute job and a catastrophic failure.

Closing

Stock this tool if you serve independent workshops, dealership networks, or mobile technicians in diesel-heavy markets. The application specificity ensures repeat orders, and the low cost-to-stock ratio makes it an easy inventory decision for your customers.
