2 jaw pullers dont work well. Besides, they usually put marks on the gear teeth. There are 2 different styles that I use. The one that I prefer is to find someone that has a hydraulic press and pay them a couple bucks to pull it off for you. The next is one that I bought for about $25 about 15 years ago. It is designed specifically for the AC VW's. It is has horse-shoe shaped piece that go that goes under the gear, and a couple pieces that go up from that to a crossbar that has a threaded screw that is used to press against the end of the crank. I have scanned it into the computer so if you want to see it, I can email you direct.
