To anybody who has pulled the pins that secure the timing chain rails (especially on a M119 engine): What tool did you use and how well did it work? I understand there are slide hammer tools and some that use a small puller with thrust bearing. Could one just tighten a bolt over a number of washers into the pins to pull them?

Thanks in advance
Bob Johnston
