Looking for a balancer puller for chryslers. I have the normal yoke style balancer puller that has always worked for me. But now I'm looking at head gaskets for a 3.2L chrysler and going to do the timing belt and water pump at the same time.

So my search for a chrysler balancer puller begins. I see there are a couple different ones out there. I'm looking at the OTC one here, http://www.tooltopia.com/otc-tools-6667.aspx.

Then there is this one made by OTC that comes with a round plate of some sort. Is the ring just a pulley holder and is it worth the extra 55 bucks?

Seems like all the brands make one, lisle, otc, KD tools, schley, etc. Anyone have a recomendation on which one to get and what to look for?

The schley one looks like the same one snap on sells. http://www.tooltopia.com/schley-64900.aspx

Then there is a lisle one that comes with some adaptors for dodge 5.9L engines. I don't have a dodge but when I make a tool purchase like this I like to buy one that will handle what ever down the road.

So looking for recomendations on what is the best puller to spend my money on. What all I need the kit to come with. Pullers are one area where I don't like to skimp on quality so want to get a nice kit that will work when needed, probably won't be often but when I buy something like this I like to get something that I know will be up to the task when needed!

Thanks for any recomendations on this!

I've used the Autozone loaner tool before with no hassles.

i have the lisle in the red box. its the best for me. the loaner tool at autozone is similar but you don't get all the rods. i have had a couple dogde/mitsu guys come in complaining because the longest rod in the rental kit wouldn't get the pulley off.

I found the OTC tool online for $52 and have pulled 100-150 pulleys off with it. Awesome tool.

I'm leaning towards the OTC, 55 bucks shipped from amazon.

Didn't know if I needed the round ring pulley holder or not? It's an extra 55 bucks.

I have the Shley, it works well. Matco sells the same one on the truck, higher priced, of course.

Does this style work on the chrysler pulleys that need a 3 jaw style puller like the pictures in my original post?

That's what I get for making a post while watching TV (didn't pay attention).....No, I have your first choice for Chyslers but I mainly use it on GM's (OTC 6667) although I have a buddy with the Schley puller that seems to work just as well.

You do have me curious about that Lisle puller with the 5.9 adapter though. I hope someone that owns one posts about it.

Can anyone tell me if the round pulley holder is needed? The otc kit is only 55 bucks but the same otc kit with the pulley holder is 110! Just wondering if the pulley holder is worth the extra 55 bucks?

Anyone know if the otc one is USA made or not? Also anyone know if the otc one comes in a case?

I haven't seen a need for it. I use a 1/2" impact on the bolt, if you were doing it with a ratchet you might need it.

my OTC 6667 came in a cardboard box not a hard plastic case. it is made in Taiwan. it is still a very nice puller for the money.

Thanks, I think the schley one is also made in taiwan, at least the snap on one is made in taiwan and it looks identical to the schley one.
