Timing Pulley Puller with Three Adjustable Extraction Legs and Forcing Screw

Brief Overview

This timing pulley puller is engineered for safe, controlled removal of timing pulleys with front-side grooves and three, six, or nine-point openings. The tool features three adjustable anchor points that adapt to different pulley diameters, eliminating the need for multiple pullers in your shop inventory. The design prioritizes pulley integrity—preventing the slip, cam-out, and deformation that damaged pulleys cause on reassembly. Pair this with adjustable timing wheel extractors for comprehensive crankshaft and camshaft pulley coverage across engine types.

Key Features

• Three Adjustable Extraction Legs: Customize engagement points to match pulley diameter and opening configuration (3, 6, or 9 openings)
• Forcing Screw with Hex Socket Head: Coarse-threaded bolt with rounded tip for smooth, progressive extraction without thread stripping
• Zinc/Nickel-Plated Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant finish maintains tool accuracy and extends service life
• Removable Pin Design: Individual pins can be repositioned or replaced to suit different pulley geometries
• Machined Slot Geometry: Radial cutouts allow pin clearance and prevent interference with surrounding engine components
• Central Threaded Boss: Precision female recess accepts forcing screw without wobble or lateral movement

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-Demand Consumable Replacement Cycle: Timing pulley work is routine maintenance across light-duty, medium-duty, and commercial vehicle fleets. Shops performing timing belt services generate steady demand for extraction tools—mechanics often damage pulleys with improvised methods, then must replace the entire assembly. This puller prevents costly damage and creates repeat customer satisfaction.

Margin-Friendly Add-On: Bundle this tool with timing belt kits, tensioner assemblies, or complete timing component packages. The low cost-to-retail ratio makes it an easy upsell that increases transaction value without resistance.

Shop Retention Tool: A quality puller positioned prominently in your catalog signals professional-grade inventory to independent and fleet mechanics. It differentiates your supply base from discount retailers offering substandard extraction tools.

Why This Matters for Your Customers

Timing pulleys removed with improvised pry bars, screwdrivers, or hammers frequently suffer cosmetic damage (dents, edge deformation) and functional damage (bent or fractured keyway seats, stripped engagement surfaces). A puller distributes extraction load evenly across three points, eliminating stress concentration and preserving pulley geometry. For shops managing fleet maintenance contracts or warranty work, this prevents comebacks and protects reputation.

The adjustable leg design means mechanics aren't forced to purchase multiple pullers for different engine families—one tool spans a practical range of pulley diameters and opening configurations.

Call to Value

Stock this puller as a standard line item in your automotive tool section. It addresses a real pain point (damaged timing pulleys), carries minimal inventory footprint, and positions your company as a supplier that understands shop floor reality. Margin potential is strong, and repeat orders are virtually guaranteed in any service-focused customer base.

Consider pairing with three-jaw timing pulley extractors with adjustable engagement for broader coverage of specialty pulley types.
