Any recommendations for power steering pulley pullers? I will be replacing mine and want to get a quality set. I don't want to go cheap and risk getting stranded mid project......

 

auto zone rents them you no

 

But then you have to give it back. The other issue is quality.....

 

ive used them a couple of times with no issue buying one id say snap on guy should have them on truck but how many times ya gonna need it for the price you gonna pay

 

I was thinking in terms of OTC 4529 or 4530......

 

Go with OTC brand. I've had one from them for the last umpteen years - every bit as good as Snap-On, but way much less expensive.

Check Amazon.com for OTC-branded tools, I have good luck finding them there for a decent price when I need them (bought an OTC ball joint press kit through them about ten years ago for something like $75 shipped - brand new. Got it after bending a Harbour Freight press frame into a pretzel in about 45 minutes. Using hand power!)

 

Which OTC, 4529 or 4530?......

 

I borrowed a pulley puller from O'Reillys when I replaced my pump (three times till I got a quiet one). I worked so well and looked like good quality that I had them order me a new one. I forgot what I paid but it's another option for you. The brand is Evertough (model 67010).

 

I've had mine so long I don't remember. All I know is that it works with two different sizes of pully flange, and it hasn't failed me yet...

 

Harbor Freight sells the puller/installer for $10 if I remember correctly. I've used it more times than I can count, the only thing that has gone wrong so far was I shredded and O-ring.
