Group Spindle Pin Puller?

[73str86]

Hello,

Is there a group spindle pin puller still floating around? Looking to borrow one and tackle this job.

Not sure about a loaner but there are options.

Thanks buddy. I've seen both of those resources in my research. Sadly in the S30 Facebook groups such as DPAN and 240/260/280Z Lovers the ZCarDepot model has poor reviews so I'm hesitant to throw down the cash.

I hear you. I don't like buying one use either. Harbor Freight have them? 

Hopefully someone will respond with a loaner.

Not all of the spindle pins require a puller.  If you're going to replace with new then you can beat the old one out.  A long 5/8" bolt works well as a drift.  sometimes they slide right out, from what I've read.

I got my spindle puller for about $40 from a guy on the HybridZ website.  Granted, that was many years ago and the tool got lost in a move.

There's a guy in the Denver area namedDarrel Hoffman. I'm pretty sure he still has his spindle pin puller . His handle in Darrel on this forum.

There were a few loaners floating around the club for a few years.  I found the topic below.  Not sure if the guys still have the loaner pullers or not.

If it won't come out with a few whacks with a hammer, don't pound on it for hours.  Heat it up it should come out easier and/or use the puller.
