Howdy, y'all.
I'd like to take off the flywheel to check out the spark items. What sort of puller do I need? Where can I get one?

Harmonic balancer puller, Harbor Frght for ~ $10 or from any auto parts place and use gr 8 bolts and washers. You will also need a fly wheel holder ( a good tool available from NAPA as a fly wheel turner for < $30) Do NOT pry under the fly wheel to get it off, BC you'll probably be in for a new fly wheel.

BTW, the fly wheel nut MUST be torqued to the correct value when re-installing. Check your shop manual for the correct value.
