Fuel lines and bearing puller

[hemogoblin]

Thanks for the info on the sizes and lengths for the fuel lines. I am still
looking for info on the generator hose, it appears to be made of plastic
material, and it is 1/4 " . I just onder why it is not regular fuel line.
Perhaps heat from the generator, or flexing when the generator is pulled
out. The original seems to be in fine condition, but I would not want to
reuse after 22 years.
By the way having not yet used Toms' Bearing Puller, this is directed to
those who have: Is a Hydraulic version needed? I have removed and pressed
bearings using most methods ( usually destroying old bearing, no problem
since they were to be replaced anyway) hydraulic press is easier but not
usually needed for one or two bearings, different for a shop doing jobs like
this on a regular basis. My concern is the need for a Stronger Version, I
remember about a year ago when the puller was first mentioned as to it being
made " so strong we could could pull ANY GMC wheel bearing no matter how
tite with ease", do we have the potential for a product liability problem
and perhaps recall here? Are we seeing the "new improved version" we see so
often? Is there a problem with the old puller? Patrick professional opinion
please.(g)

Nope - just more muscle if it's really tight, Mine weren't ;>

I'd say that Tom more than delivered on the promise. His puller is better
than anything that I've seen - and is a heck of a lot less expensive.

Guys you are not going to break this puller unless you truly abuse it with a
sledgehammer. As for design I am a professional engineer and used to belong
before I retired to the American Society of Metals.

There will actually be much less chance of sprained arms and pulled muscles
with the new puller.
