Crank Hub Puller tool -- other than Kent Moore?

Hi guys,

I've been to all the auto shops in my area -- no one carries a hub puller/damper puller that can accommodate the 7/16" bolt size that the LT1 hub has -- they all top out at 3/8".

Does anyone have a part number, aside from the Kent Moore (which would have to be purchased!) that could work for the job?

In this article:

Remove and Install the LT1 Crank Hub | Tech Aids & Articles

It shows a part that looks really similar to the one they have at Kragen/Autozone/Pep Boys, but it can fit the proper bolts through the gaps in the tool.

Any ideas, or suggestions?

I just widened the slots on the tool I bought years ago.

Same here.

I then bought another tool that has interchangeable tips for different crank threads. Super useful.

I just used smaller hardware and put a nut and washer on the backside after running it through the hub. Didn't have a hardware store handy the first time I did it so I used what I had.

That works, too.
