Gear puller

[ZQQH6]

Anyone know what size jaws are needed to pull crank sprocket?
Thanks

The crank sprocket is relatively small, maybe 3" dia. But what you do need to get behind it is a puller with a lot of reach (depth).
I'd guess 6" reach or so, as the sprocket sits quite a ways back from the front end of the crank. (going off memory here).

Which generally means you'll need a larger puller that probably also has the capability of grabbing something 8-10" dia. or so (which you don't need, but a big puller will still grab small stuff too).

Alternately, a slide-hammer would probably work too with a single hook-end behind the sprocket.

The sprocket usually isn't that tough to get off, it's by no means a press fit, it's keyed to the crank with what I'd call a snug sliding fit.
