I have a puller exactly like the one you described. I followed your
procedure up to the point of heating the bogie forging with a torch. That
is a big no no. The shop manual warns against using heat on suspension
components, and so did the General Motors Training Center that I attended.
But, if it is your coach, you assume the risk if you heat stuff. But, I
can't do that on customers coaches.
