<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For years I have been using a modified puller from
the auto parts store. The modification is grinding/filing down the tips of the
jaws until it will fit the groove on the thrust washer. The jaws on my puller
are about 4+ inches long.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have pulled washers off all current pattern
engines including the ST2300.</FONT></DIV>
