On the Indy Maxx aluminum block do you need a main cap puller to remove them??? I am thinking last year right after I got my engine some one on here was talking about having to have a special puller to get them off. I have been building and working on Mopar engines for 20+ years even the ford's and chevy's and never had to have one. But this is my first Indy block and I don't want to make any mistakes. If I do need one(hoping I don't) where do I buy it???? Thanks

Not sure about the aluminum block, but my Mega block requires a puller. My buddy made a simple puller from material he had laying around in his shop, works great and cost nothing.

I have made mine out of a slide hammer. Have a couple of changeable heads for various blocks.

Thanks, I have a idea of where to start now. Will more than likely be back asking more questions later. Thanks again for the help!!

I made my own puller. As stated before, freeze to get them in. BigCube has a nice one that he made. Maybe AndyF can make one that is not too pricey.. When I asked (Russ) Indy @ the MATS, he just shook his head and said "yes there is a special tool for this...It's called a slide hammer" What a PUTZ.. Chris..
