It's ready to pull, so I can get to the crank sensor. Bolt out etc.

It has a 3 small slots for a puller to get into. Well I have an assortment of 3 jaw pullers 3" being the smallest. No way!!

Do you guys have one that has a part number I can get one?? Do they make a 2" or what?
Snap On wasn't much help either so that's why I asking .

Any tips, ideas etc.

Thanks. I tried something like that from Lisle.
Another board member said OTC 6267. By the pictures it may work.

Today after work going to hunt one of these down and try it.
Will let you know...

It worked decent. The arms were a bit larger than the holes so had to grind a little. Not much though.

Replacing that sensor was a pain. Adjustable using a non-metallic feeler gauge. YEA RIGHT.
No room at all...

It runs again that's all that matters.
