DriftBusta Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) To buy a good spring puller?! This thing is the cats balls. Not gonna lie, wrecked many a knuckle over the years getting some of those mfers on, dropping them down into the bellypan. And this turbo has a couple ridiculous spring placements.

Zambroski Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Is that a champagne coolie? Why you wanna tease BarbieHands? This works fantastic too and flexible! It’s a modified hot dog skewer. Also does abortions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Crappie Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I just ground a 8" skinny straight blade to a point and bent the tip over to a V in the vise. That was 30 years ago and it still works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I have one I bought and one I made out of a big flat head screw driver that I keep in the tool kit on my sled. Both work good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small-bore Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Lol I smashed a good watch prying an exhaust spring off of my cr125 with a pair of needle nose players years ago. I bought a proper spring puller after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
