im looking for a tool like zuk's clam shell that he uses to hold his bearing while he presses off the pinion. i know he had a machine shop make his but im looking for one that i could possibly buy that is made specificly for the toyota pinion bearing , i have a regular bearing/gear puller but it will destroy the bearing every time.im tempted to try to use a die grinder to modify the gear puller i have now.

http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/otc1124.htmlI bought this exact model....OTC-1124...the pic does not do it justice.....it's a monster size bearing separator that seems to get the pinion bearings off for me. I think it will work for you. It has to be an extra large one like this one that had a good knife edge to get at the bearing. ZUK

The one at Harbor freight will not capture the bearing as well as this one.....this one has much better quality also. The harbor freight one looks tiny compared to the monster one I posted.

yea i went over and they had one that was big but it would need to be modified quite a bit. im just going to coin up and get that one. im trying to get my workshop set up to be similar to yours and im going to try to set up 3rds down here in florida. it seems like there arent many shops down here that know how to set them up properly.i use your site as a bible! thanks again zuk

I have successfully used the HF splitter on diffs and transmissions. IIRC I modified it a tad, but for $19 I can live with that.

This is a V6 pinion bearing.....there's a big difference in the weight and quality of this puller vs the HF one. I never thought I would spend $110 for one of these....but I needed it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/kenfrancisco/bearingsplitter.jpg)
