Could someone who has a factory or JIMS etc cam bearing puller tell me the following dimensions?
1. Diameter of the main body that goes inside the bearing rollers
2. Diameter of the lip on the end that actually pulls the bearing?
3. Thickness of that same lip.
Being chronically impecunious and having a lathe in the shed I need to make a JIMS style puller to change out the bearing when I fit the EV13 cam I have sitting on the shelf. Just want to make sure I make that end of the puller the right size so it does not hit the flywheels by sticking in too far or hang up on the case hole if it has a rear lip etc. I could figure it out as I go but would be nice to have the tool made up before I pull the nosecone off.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
I did the same thing and made one it worked one time the steal I used was to soft. ill take some measurements tonight
Yes, wow, that's awesome. Thanks much D-gyver. Everything I need there.
I got a box of old pins out of earthmoving equipment that are made of some good steel that should make good material for the job.
It just makes that old 1937 Drummond lathe of mine really earn its keep!

Thanks for the great drawings.
perhaps you could make a few extra while you have the Drummond set up...for your forum pals ? I'd be interested in compensating you for your effort (hint hint)
