I had to get some longer bolts for the "Powerbuilt" puller that I bought at Checker, so I could get more threads of the center screw going. Run a shop vac down into the pump and it'll pull out a little more coolant from the water jacket that will otherwise drip all over the place when you separate the cover from the block. Pay attention not to bust the cam sensor. Not too bad of a job, just take your time.
