RE: THRUST WASHER PULLER
Check with the hardware shops. Here we use what is called a bearing extractor (some made in China thingy). It works like a cork extractor that you use for wines. The contraption will have 2 grip like things on the side that will hold the thrust washer ... then a long metal screw is attached to the shaft ... you tighten the screw and it pushes against the shaft, hence exracting the thrust washer. Its really cheap here ...
