That was fast....

OK, you gave me an idea, I have some 2" X 1/8" aluminum, I'll just drill it for the six bolt holes with room in the center for a socket and use it like as a lever like you said.... I didn't think the bolt in the plug hole was ever a good idea.... I was afriad it would at best mar the top of the piston and at worst bend the rod or hose the bearings. Works well on small nitro engines though!

I have a bunch of pullers, I'm sure that something I have will work to pull it off.

Thanks again!
