Thanks for posting. Do you have any measurments on diameter and drilling points on the puller you made?

[@Mr_Chris]

Awesome thanks, just doing mine now, as you say, a little heat and it pops right off. Happy Days :)

Hello, is it the 2 small oil seals that cause the water to enter the oil? thank you (french)

for Sergio and George Pineda. Sergio, water may enter from several areas..... prop shaft seals are one, and the eccentric piston seal is an even more likely suspect. NOTE: When removing the eccentric piston, the shift detent pin must be removed. You will see two different style detent spring pin installations. ..... one detent spring pin is perpendicular to the eccentric piston. (this one is driven out and will be in plain sight) ..... one detent spring pin is parallel to the eccentric piston. (this one is driven further into it's bore. oil film tends to hold the spring pin in it's bore) The parallel detent spring pin must be retrieved. Spray something like carburetor cleaner into the bore, and then tap it out. If it is NOT retrieved, future spring pin removal cannot occur. See post # 11 here.
