I think I saw this mentioned whilst flipping through the digest. The first time I pulled my pistons, I had my brother support the pistions while I tapped the pins out with an extension and a BFH. The second time I made a puller with a piece of all thread, a nut, a nut ground on a bench grinder to be slight smaller than the pin, but not pull through the hole, and a short piece of tube to allow room for the pin to be pulled into. Pretty fuzzy eh? With a vice grip and a wrench I pulled the pins with not beating, all by my lonesome. (BTW, if anyone wants this wonderful tool, I'll never use it again, free for the asking...) If someone would like a picture of it, I can prolly sketch and scan something... MAtt
