Ebay 15.25 Shipped
I just ordered one. I hope it works on a Stihl 028 flywheel side seal.

I use a paint can opener. No seriously it works pretty well.

LOL, you just gave me an idea. . . I'll throw it together if I can remember to make it.
I'll post it up in this thread.

That is how I do it I use grease on the drill bit to catch the shavings from falling inside but when the seal is out you can see if there is any chips in there. I use a sheet rock screw the tip is nice and fine.

Nope, not yet. . . Rereading this thread today reminded me though. I'm butt-circle deep in fixing my truck brakes right now, but may find a minute to do it tomorrow after church.
The idea is simple, something most could throw together.
start selling them. Ill be your first customer if it works good.
Does the screw grip the seal strongly enough?
I bought the Lysle tool shown in this thread from Clarks Tool in Claycomo (KC) MO last week for $16. Haven't had the need to try it out yet.
I have also drilled a small hole in the metal portion of the seal and used the little slide hammer with the replaceable screw in the tip intended for body repair (pulling dents). I found that was far easier than the screw and pliers technique.

Okay, I had a little time this evening and threw it together. Pretty simple. . .
Everything needed to make this is easily purchased at a hardware store.
supplies needed:
All-thread (ready-rod)
One 1/2" extension nut
One 1/2" nut
An inch or so of hot roll round (I used 3/8") -- 1/2" solid square would work too
Two paint can openers (free)
A welder or torch
Total fab time; approx. 30 minutes
I cut a 6" length if 1/2"-13 rod, and turned the end on a lathe. . . A grinder of some kind would work fine.
I cut off two 1/2" long chunks of 3/8" rod and welded them to the extension nut. I then used a cutoff wheel and cut two small grooves to accept the "tang" in the paint opener.
I then plug welded the 1/2" nut to the un-sharpened side of the ready-rod.
I used a 4.5" grinder with a resin fiber disc and thinned the hooks a bit. . .

Cont. . .
The paint can openers can be placed beside the crank in position to remove the seals, then slid into the notches on the puller.
Easy, cheap, and oh so Redneck.

That's pretty ingenious! Let us know how it works.

BloodOnTheIce gave me the idea with his post. . . He's my Muse of sorts. LOL
I'll have to pull a seal on one of my parts saws. . . I'll post results.

Nice
How fine/thin do you have to make the little lips to make them fit the small seal?

Not sure yet? . . I'll find out more tomorrow.
The beauty of this setup, is you have no limit to the different sizes of hooks you can make -- and the paint can openers are free.
And it opens bottles!
