    Hi folks. Does anyone here have an extra proper sprocket puller for my 73 WR250, they would be willing to sell? Or maybe someone here makes them up for others, or can point me in the right direction to get one? Having great difficulty removing my sprocket for some reason. It hasn't been on there that long, but still refuses to come off.
    Thanks

    Standard 3 Jaw Puller. Not working well. I'm almost positive it is tapered, but can't remember. Tech Reference doesn't show it well. I lose track between bikes.

    No splines seen , tapered . On my old 71 400 never had a special puller for the sprocket . There is a holder for the sprocket to take the nut off and retighten . I've used both 2 and 3 arm pullers before to get that sprocket off . Tighten the puller and give the bolt of the puller a sharp quick rap with a hammer , that sharp crack just might pop it off . I just used that trick on a maico ignition rotor , a brass one for points , no damage . What it does is when the puller is tight , the threads are tight and by hitting the bolt the bolt can move quick enough to separate the sprocket from the taper . You shouldn't have to beat it to death , just a good sharp hit . If it doesn't come off the first time , tighten the puller a little more and try hitting the puller bolt again . When it pops it will probably end up on the floor .

    Is the puller slipping off or you can't get enough pressure on it for the sprocket to pop off ?

    Are you able to get that puller centered on the shaft ?

    I'm sorry. I thought you wanted a picture of the puller justintendo and Richard were talking about. The picture I posted is what I'm trying to find.
    My 3 jaw puller is difficult to keep on the sprocket. It's hard to tighten the bolt without having one or more jaws slip off.

    I've had success with a 2 arm puller , I would tighten to just before the arms seemed to start slipping and give the bolt a sharp hit with a hammer . That would usually separate the parts . The puller you pictured , do the arms adjust or are they mixed ?

    the puller picture is factory tool, and is similar to the crank gear puller. the puller jaws slide out the sides so yes it is adjustable width wise, and its how the tool fits in tight places. as it can be "built" into a tight place..
    the puller jaws kind of look like a lincoln log..

    That's the factory puller I just sold on ebay...it went for $48 including shipping.
    They work well, the 2 jaws do NOT slip off the sprocket.
    Important! always use the factory sprocket holder, or a braced gear holder such as a Motion Pro, to hold the sprocket from turning when loosening or tightening the lh thread nut. Keep the trans in neutral.
    NEVER try to keep the sprocket from turning by putting the bike in gear. Bad things will happen...

    Here are the flywheel and sprocket holders for the 4 speed and early 5 speed bikes as well as the special "combination wrench". I just helped Mike out with some of these tools as well as a puller in the resto section with his 73 450WR. Check it out

    On keeping the puller on the sprocket, put a hose clamp around the puller to hold it on the teeth of the sprocket.
    Sometimes have to heat the sprocket with a torch, try not to heat shaft.
    Have had them on so tight just wouldn't budge left the puller on. Went home for the night came in next day found the sprocket and puller were stuck in the wall.
    Some take a lot of pressure.
    Be careful.
    Have some new puller legs, and some early flywheel holders.

    If you don't want to hassle with the stuck sprocket and sprocket pullers and heat torch in the future you can change the sprocket shaft out to the 5 spd SPLINED shaft.

    Just found this , check out husky club news letters issue 1 in the vintage tech section . There is a service bulletin about the tapered sprocket you may find interesting if you haven't seen it yet .it talks about bad sprockets etc . Good luck .
