the puller tool made specifically for our cars is not a claw-type puller.

it comes like this:

and, when assembled, looks like this:
cpt1-300.jpg


also note that using this type will not bend the stock pulley (in case you ever want/need to put it back on, or want to sell it).

Our Grand Prix's have Eatons on them too. I've seen some very ugly results when people use a jaw-type puller to remove the pulley. Getting the right tool (Pulley Boys for example) will be a much safer alternative.

I'm sure you can find one from a local club member. Our local Grand Prix Club chapter has at least three or four scattered among various members.

I would not suggest it because of what Scott P said "very ugly results when people use a jaw-type puller"

in a bind I would use the Amazon Racing/BilletFlow pulley puller and install tool

to prevent anything bad happening, use the Amazon Racing/BilletFlow pulley puller and install tool

I can next day air one to you today and you will have it tomorrow, is that fast enough for ya? :)

Do our pulley have threads in them so a puller that screws into the pulley will work?

I don't recommend the claw style puller for any pulley.
