Case Splitting Tool

After you remove the oil pump, install this handy device into the pump opening up against the cam gear. (Make sure it doesn't touch the gear.) Adjust the bolts and you'll see the tool move outward. This puts pressure from the inside out and pushes the case halves apart. Now, that sure beats hammering on the engine case to split it apart.

Works on VW Bug, Bus, Ghia, and Thing.

Crankshaft Gear Puller - A professional quality tool will solve the problem of removing the crankshaft timing gear- a gear which must be removed when an engine is rebuilt and the main bearings are changed. In operation this tool simply slips under the gear and with a wrench or impact gun the gear is easily removed. The highest quality standards are used in the construction of this tool for years of service for the do-it-yourself or the professional. Fits all 12-1600cc Beetle style engines- does not fit the larger 17-2000cc type 4 engines. Note DO NOT FORGET to remove the snap ring on the end of the crankshaft before using this puller as this is a sure way to ruin this gear puller and void your warranty.
