Does anyone know where I could get a decent fan puller, other than the universal puller with the Allen key grub screws. Thanks.
Riello fan's are stubborn.

Why not modify it?
Post a pic and we'll see how...

I discovered my bearing puller also works as a Riello fan puller.

A tip I learnt is not to pull the fan, but turn it on motor spindle to screw it off.
You need to hold the other end of motor (oil pump drive end) to prevent it spinning.

This sort of design of bearing puller that has some means of bolts on top of the arms to lock them in position so to grip the outer part of fan centre might be worth a look. Very similar to mine.

This sort of puller is better as the arms are narrow. I got mine off ebay for about £8. Just take the screws out if they get in the way
