I have no idea on that. I don't get to experiment like I once did. I currently spending 12 hr days in my shop just to keep up with the work load. Glad things are finally slowing some.
Yesterday I manage to destroy one my pullers removing an engine pulley. And I did this using a 1/2 dr ratchet and not a impact; I could understand if I was using an impact. Maybe it didn't like getting hot as I had to use my torch to heat the pulley but I could still hold the section with my bare hands. I got into to see if a larger forcing screw can be installed to save it or just get a new bearing separator puller set. It is a Chinese puller so the metal is probably lousy.
These dang Cub Cadet ZTRs rust the transmission pulleys on. The 3 pulleys I had remove all were destroyed during the removal process on the years. That is the only way to remove them. This time the pulley was good and I wasn't planning on removing it as I was just the electric PTO clutch but they changed the clutch which meant removing the shaft key. I glad I had brought a pulley the other day when I was ordering parts from the OEM warehouse just in case I needed it. At least I will not lose another week waiting on parts.
