EXHAUST SPRING PULLER... WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND??

mickyd32 · Dec 18, 2014

so after busting the crap out of my knuckles, I am looking for a good spring puller. What does everyone have?

I used to have a good one made yamaha, but after about 6 seasons it broke

so now I'm on the hunt again

I use the push / pull tool shown below and mechanics gloves for protection for when you inevitably slip off the spring.

I have to question "exhaust valve spring puller"

yep, shoe lace does the trick. Another easy one to make is take an old broken/damaged/cheap large straight blade screw driver and put a notch in it with a cut off wheel. Eric

My favorite is a super cheapy from harbor freight.

I used a piece of coat hanger to make one. Small hook on one end, a looped handle on the other and twisted it around. If its a Real pain i stick a screw driver threw the loop and make a t handle.

This one from motion pro is the best I have found!

I've made a boat load out of 1/8" SS or duplex SS tig filler wire and 3/8" SS rod for the "T" handle, but still find my old standby the belt guard clip works fine for me. If you need more reach, add a few springs in series to reach the hard to reach ones.

The belt guard clip was much more convenient when it was always there on the sled. The newer ones not so much.

I did too but then made an assumption that the OP was referring to an "exhaust spring tool" after referring to the damaged knuckles. LOL

I use my fingers as the exhaust valve spring puller, but for an exhaust spring puller, I can't be the only guy here with a trampoline in the backyard. They all come with spring pullers.

Bootlaces or similar can't be beat. Little 4-6mm rope etc... And your always wearing a pair in most situations!
