I've asked in the Mini forum to no avail, so last try - I don't suppose anyone with oily fingers in here possesses a supercharger pulley puller they'd be willing to rent for cash for a few days?

I'm doing a new pulley in my car soon & don't really wish to buy a puller for a one off job if I can avoid it. Prince Charles pounds await.

Any normal 3 leg puller should do it. Or is there something odd about your pulley?

Would it? Reading up on the job, all the advice is to use the bespoke puller.

Having dug into it a bit, I suspect there isn't room behind the pulley to fit a normal puller, so the ribbed ones that clamp into the pulley groves are used. Not sure there's a way round this one.....

I have rented tools (BMW e30 rear beam bush removal) from pheonix motorsport previously who were great.
