<VV> SHOP PRESS-crank gear

[BBRT]

Crank gears require heat.. Extremely easy to mess up gear teeth and you 
really have to look at them carefully... not that you don't, Tim.  I have a 
20T and have used all of it on LM rear stub axles. I haven't tried a crank 
gear because I do not have good enough "tooling" to fit in there and get as 
much of the gear as possible. Ideally, it seems to me that the crank gear 
needs to be "pulled" (like with a hvy duty gear puller/steering wheel 
puller)  while pressed... I there such an animal?

Recommend 20T.
