I probably thought about it for a year, before pulling the trigger on a Bergeon 4854 Cannon Pinion Remover, thinking expensive but that it would be the ultimate tool for the job. Especially so having seen Mark Lovick use this tool in his videos, for example this video. Well, it certainly didn’t work out the way I was expecting. It simply won’t pull the cannon pinion. I’ve recorded a video of it here. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, and I don’t think the remover has any parts missing as I took it apart in an attempt to figure out how it works. It seems to be a simple enough design to understand. Anyway, I guess I could be wrong about that, and if so please let me know! When looking at Mark Lovick’s video the design of the tool (the grabbing part) looks different from my copy of the tool. I guess Bergeon changed the design and unfortunately into something that just doesn’t work, but I agree, that doesn’t sound very plausible. Well, I’m more than puzzled! What should I do?
