Re: drive clutch puller
I have a 1993 DS Club Car and made my drive pulley puller for under $2 with 2 Grade 8 bolts from TSC. The first bolt was 3/8" x 5". The second is a 7/16"-20 (fine thread) x 2". Cut the head off the 3/8" bolt and grind the threads off 1-1/2". This will allow it to slide into end of crankshaft without damaging threads in crankshaft. Then grind the threads off of the 7/16" bolt leaving only 1" of the threads adjacent to the head. I welded the 2 bolts together but is not necessary. They could remain in two pieces.
See finished product in attached pic. It worked great and mine was very tight.
It might be possible to buy a 7/16"-20 x 1" and 3/8" x 6" and save grinding any threads on the 7/16" bolt but they did not have a 6" bolt at the store I went to.
