Most excellent. I like your friend's work. He should sell that puller as a kit, lol.

So the question is why did it spin a bearing? Is there crap/sludge in the drilling to that bearing journal? Oil starvation would be my guess.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to change my oil, maybe even with a can of EPR/BG 109; those sludge pics give me the willies.
