rajul,

The drive washer puller was used on some of the "SF' and 'FSR' series of engines because the drive washer was held onto the engine by a tapered locking cone. Other engines, such as the .61 SF/RF engines used a Woodruff key to connect the drive washer and crank. The 'FX' series of engines use a flat on the crankshaft and inside the hole in the drive washer to lock them together. A puller is not needed on those engines.

Your 'FX' series engine doesn't need the puller. The drive washer usually comes off by hand once the prop's been removed, but sometimes a light tap on the end of the crank is needed to jar it loose.
