I know this can't be right. Is there a smaller puller to get the variator side starter gear off an aero 80 to get to the seal?!

I tried all the positions on a 3 job puller. Any help would be great. If this goes smoothly I will personally make a how to video on this and post it to YouTube this winter. It will amass 9 hits a year. Lol

I keep a diary of everything I do.
I'll dig it out when I get home and see how I did it.

You didnt say what year you have, usually helpful information, so I guessd a 1985. The puller that removes the starter gear is part number 07935-KG80000. Hope you have a friend at the local Honda Dealer who can smuggle it out for a night.

Ok, so my diary says I used a gear puller.

It also says I pulled from the edge, not the slotted holes as the legs are too thick.
So my guess is that I either used a bearing puller or I managed to cram a three legged puller in there.

If it was a three legged puller, my smallest size is a 3" AmPro.

Also, if you've not tried it yet, tighten up the screw against the crank then give a sharp tap on the hex end with a heavy hammer before tightening a little further.
This often shocks the fit in to coming apart.

DISCLAIMER:
My Haynes manual says it's a very tight fit and if successful removal can't be guaranteed, take it to Honda

Oh man crazy. I'm glad I haven't had to do that yet.

One of these pullers. I had to grind down the carriage bolt heads on one side. For my next one I am fabricating a 4 bolt steel plate puller adapter. With only the two bolts twisting sideways was a major problem I cut a 2x4 to fit between the ground and puller and stood on it. I used a piece of plywood to not crush the crank threads. I slightly heated up the gear too. Good luck, and watch your fingers!
(One of the carriage bolts stretched out and got tossed)

And as stated above, tap the puller bolt with a hammer

Hondahauler660r is right, lol. used carriage bolts. GL.
