Invested in one of these - a 5910890 4400 Stihl pulling device for crankseals. Plenty of vids showing the final stage of screwing in to pull out.

Question - what's the proper technique for getting the jaws into the seal in the first place? Push down on the rubber part? Break through into the metal part?

 

Is there a Stihl table that says you use these particular set of jaws on this saw as it comes with 5 sets of jaws?

 

Is there an instruction booklet for the tool?

 

Thanks a lot.

The pullers work better on larger seals, I cut through the rubber part and then select the jaws with the largest lip that can be pushed in. I also crank up the screws to make them really tight on the seal.

 

They can work really well or be a bit of a PITA on smaller seals!

We changed the wing nut screws for T27 screws as we found you cant wind the wing nuts up tight enough. Just like they have done in this video.
