Hi all. Purchased a drop arm puller for my 1980 series 3, but its too big . Its the "24mm" one which i thought would fit. Not sure what the 24mm refers to? After searching further i see there are "19mm" versions available. Is that what i need ?
All help / input appreciatted
Cheers
Phil

Does the 24mm represent the gap on the jaws of the puller?
If so then measure the gap you need and if it's 19mm then Bob's ur Uncle.

Can you return it for exchange or put a couple of bolts either side sitting on the lugs and jamming on the drop arm

I think i can still return it. Ive asked the seller if he has a smaller version. Ill report back my findings when he has responded. Failing which the bolt idea might be worth a try. Thanks

Did you get it sorted?

No not yet. Im still in the process of dismantling the whole vehicle so when the weathers good Im outside working on removing everything from the old chassis.
I did order a "19 mm drop arm puller" but it had an even wider opening ( 57.5mm) so i returned it.
So I'm not sure which puller to order, added to which all the ones that claim to be for a Series 3 are upwards of 50 pounds which seems a tad expensive for something I'll only need once ( hopefully)

If you put up a rough location, someone might lend you a puller ...

So here's what i have . Looks like a standard LR S3 arrangement but i have no reference to gauge by.
Splined shaft is 25.2 ( me thinks 1 inch then)
To fit under " the ears" a puller would need an opening of 42mm.
Judging by the state of the lock washer its been off before but to me, it doesn't look like its on far enough ( see pic showing 10.3mm between drop arm and steering box)
