Evening all, hope someone can help.

I am trying to replace the Crank pulley on my fairly modified MINI Cooper S Works, but none of my pullers fit without the risk of damaging the original. My Mechanic has now that will fit and the local BMW dealer are faffing about with admitting they can or cant get him one. Does anyone know where i can get one or borrow one? - its an easy job if i can just get hold of the d**m tool!!!

Does it not have three bolt holes in it?
Using these and a gear puller you should be able to remove it.

It does, but for some reason my mech doesn't have one with the right thread size, and none of his suppliers do it. I will nag him again.

They will be metric so should not be difficult.

Edit: Where in Hants are you? I'm in Cowplain and should have some bolts that would fit.
