[QUOTE="podfish, post: 1313263, member: 77606"] [b]got it...[/b] The mechanic at Cycle Pro in Santa Rosa pulled it for me (only charging $20) and he ended up using a much more massive chunk of metal than my puller, and applying way more force than I would have felt comfortable doing. That's the benefit of experience - I trusted his judgement more than mine on how much force was too much. It popped off with an extremely loud bang, too! One downside of using non-factory tools: when I put the bolts in to the threaded holes in the rotor, I put them in a bit too far, so when the rotor turned, the end of the bolts contacted the stator coils and damaged them. Since the point of this job was to replace the coils, no harm was done - but that's a tip for anyone else doing this themselves! mark the puller bolts so you don't thread them in too far. There's one other factor that I forgot, which limits or eliminates the problem of mashing the crank end. On the Honda, the crank end has outer threads like a bolt; that's what mushroomed. On the KDX, the taper extends to the end of the shaft and the hub is held on by a bolt, not a nut. So it's safe to use a LOT of force! [/QUOTE]
