Well, I don't think length is the problem. I think the fact that the teeth on the puller just won't grab onto the edge/groove of the bushing. Either way they AutoZone pullers are shitty.

Yes, it's the auto bushing that I'm having trouble with. An air chisel? I'll consider it, but I really wouldn't want to use any type of power tool on it.

Ahh, alright I get it. I think this might be doable then. Did a quick search and those grease guns aren't all that expensive plus it'd probably come in handy iin the future.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Went onto the Snap-On site and only found the same kind of puller that AutoZone rents out.
