So... I've stripped 3 of my gear pullers trying to pull the drive gears off of my motor. 2 on the small one and one on the clutch after I managed to get the small one off. I bought a new one but I'm curious if a better gear puller exists for these. the ones available at canadian tire won't fit between the case and the gear so unless they're ridiculously thin, we have to use a screw puller.
Perhaps someone knows what size the screws on the puller are (all 3) so I can go to a hardware store, buy a giant bolt, hollow it out/drill through it, thread it and stick a smaller bolt in it to simulate the stock gear puller.
EDIT: Any tips would help too, I got some penetrant that the part source guy said may help and I heard heating the gears could help too, but I'm afraid of making the metal softer and just stripping them some more. I'm buying a brand new motor for my other bike and I plan to take it 100% apart to replace bearings and hardware before installing, but it'd be halted by stripped threads.
