I bought the VW Rear Bearing Puller from this company. I had a problem with one of the "arms" of the puller. I wrote them about the problem, not expecting anything to be done, but lo and behold - they sent me two new arms for the puller - No Questions Asked!!!

He is obviously a man of integrity and honor. I HIGHLY recommend his products and company.

Received my 6306 Bearing puller today, fast shipping to California. This tool works amazing had my bearing off in less than 5 minutes.

I just got the pair of these in the mail today.
So, I haven’t even used these yet, aside from grabbing an original screw, and a new aftermarket tin screw.
These are great. Like, for freaking real!!! Fits very nicely, hardly any play , fits solid!!

This is in reference to the “tin screw torqued” tool. That’s the email I sent him. And I tried it on a couple screws after that. Worked great.

I used the pulley puller on a motor that has been sitting outside for over 20 years - came off without any drama whatsover. I've ruined several pulleys over the years by using the around-the-edge pullers.

I purchased the vinyl and endcaps to rebuild my middle seat grab handle. The quality and accuracy of this reproduction is admirable. Restoration quality to be sure. Shipment arrived at my door in less than 24 hours. Very nice, Brad

Puller is super cool and pulled a stuck pulley off in a snap.

Just purchased a swing axle bearing puller, and then saw the pulley puller, so I bought that too. Arrived in two days, very well packed. These tools look pretty awesome! I don’t need them, yet, but I’d rather have them and not need them. Also, buy good stuff when you see it for sale, because it won’t always be around.

That Pulley puller works like a dream!
It is expensive, but well worth it-I'd buy it again. It removed a very stubborn pulley in under 20 min.
Great communication with Bradley and they shipped it almost immediately.
I didn't have to grind anything off of the puller or the pulley to make it fit-I just unbolted one of the fingers, placed it in one of the pulley slots then re-bolted it back together.

I too purchased a Fritz 124 pulley puller and I was led to Bradley's ad by Hazetguy. I was looking for the pulley removal too VW203 and EverittB suggested two guys to contact, which I did. Hazetguy came back with a message that had a link to Brad's ad on TheSamba. I read and watched some YouTube videos that said to just pry it off. Well, I have a magnesium case that is 50 years old and I would prefer not to crack it. Paying $100 for a well made tool is reasonable compared to the alternative.

This is a very well made tool. Note that the fingers can be difficult to get into the OEM pulley extraction holes so you may want to Dremel some material on the outer radial edge of the two holes. Put a strip of rag around the pulley hub where it is against the engine case to keep crap out from any grinding. Remove a small amount of metal from the outer most edge of the hole. When you are able to get the second finger into it's corresponding hole without much difficulty you have removed enough. Note that the pulling fingers should be facing the crankshaft. I found that the best position for the pulley was with the holes on a horizontal line. Snug the center bolt with your fingers to hold the puller to the pulley hub and check to see that both fingers are hidden behind the pulley. Use a 17mm open end wrench to turn the center bolt. Since the puller is operating close to the center of the crankshaft the pulley should come off easily. My pulley came off after being in place for about 50 years.

For all of you with Type 3 engines, this tool may work to remove the fan mounted to the crankshaft, so check it out. It only pulls on the machined steel hub.

Kudos to Bradley for making a very good copy of the other very expensive brand of pulley puller. I ordered this last Thursday and had it in my hands the following Saturday; 2 day shipping. I had it before the USPS recognized that they had shipped it.

If you couldn't tell, I recommend Bradley for any purchase you want to make.

I just purchased a pulley puller and can't be happier. It took about 30 seconds to get the pulley off and in perfect shape. I've been fighting with that pulley for a week and this thing pulled it off no sweat! A wonderful product well worth every penny.

[Tom Mohr]

Brad is a very helpful and nice guy!! I was looking for a pop-out window latch part and he emailed me that he has got one for me. He gave it to me as a gift!! I had to pay only for the shipping cost to Budapest/Hungary. The part arrived in great condition, packaging was also great and shipping was very quick!! Hope to deal with him again in the future! Thanks very much: Attila

Got my Bus bottle openers this week, and they are most excellent!! Brad's communication all along was top notch, and his products are even better.
