What is the name of this tool?

[JC1]

Hi guys, Buddy at work is trying to repair his starter clutch on his Suzuki Motorcycle. Found this video on Youtube and the guy is using a Specialty tool that he bought at HF. In his post doesn't put the part number of picture of the part on his Post. Nice guy!!!! Tool is shown at the 3:33 time mark on the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YA_G2b9CIs If you know the proper name of the tool it would be appreciated. Searched HF and come up with nothing. Regards, JC.

That's a two jaw gear puller. It is NOT a specialty tool designed to do the job in the video

Thanks a bunch! Here's the HF link for it https://www.harborfreight.com/two-jaw-puller-set-3-pc-64305.html?_br_psugg_q=two+jaw+puller

Yes, that's not what that tool is designed to do, but an improvisation. You can also usually get the job done with just an oil-filter-type strap wrench. If you do need to go buy something, I'd suggest buying that instead as it's more useful in general for various tasks. Here's a very inexpensive set from HF: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-pc-rubber-strap-wrench-set-69373.html Gear pullers like that can also be borrowed from autoparts stores like O'Reillys or NAPA in their "loaner tool" selection. When you get it off, check the springs for evenness and wear. Also be aware you generally need to loctite or stake the bolts to guarantee they don't back out. They should be staked from the factory though I don't know that bike in particular.

All tools are hammers, right?

That's just a gear puller. There are a number of ways to do that job.

Thanks Guys. It's not my job, a guy at work. He doesn't have many tools. I'm just trying to help out
