Hi Neil
How do you have space for an tre legs puller ??
and there is not that much space betwin wing and pit mann arm
So i think it has to be an total other kind, with only 2 arms,,,, sorry

I use a 2 arm Sykes Pickavnt hydraulic puller, you must not use heat as it will ruin the seals & bushes in the box. I could loan my puller for a week or so if it will help you? Ralph

How does removing the column help remove the arm or allow a 3 legged puller?
