Full details
This guide is for mechanics working on post-2023 Ford Transit and Ranger models with the 2.0 Ecoblue diesel engine. The Laser Tools Crankshaft Pulley Puller (9385) offers a robust and safe method for removing the crankshaft pulley without damaging the vital rubber vibration damper. A key benefit is its dedicated design, ensuring force is applied correctly to the pulley's center. However, it's specifically for post-2023 models and requires proper lubrication of the force screw for optimal performance and longevity.

FAQs
What specific Ford vehicles is this pulley puller designed for?
This tool, Laser Part No. 9385, is specifically designed for post-2023 Ford Transit and Ranger models fitted with the 2.0 Ecoblue diesel engine.
Is this tool compatible with older Ford Ecoblue engines?
No, this tool is only for post-2023 models. For earlier Ecoblue pulleys, particularly on the Ranger, you should refer to Laser Part No. 7334 or 8394.
What is the OEM equivalent number for this tool?
This tool is equivalent to Ford OEM tool 6667 when used with Ford pulley 2789483. The Ford OEM part number for the pulley itself is 2789483.
Why is lubricating the force screw important?
Lubricating the force screw with molybdenum disulphide grease before each use is crucial for smooth operation, preventing wear on the screw threads, and ensuring consistent, reliable pulling force without binding.
How does this puller prevent damage to the crankshaft pulley?
The puller features three machined legs that lock into the pulley's legs, ensuring all pulling force is applied through the tool's central mechanism to the metal center of the pulley. This prevents stress or damage to the rubber vibration damper component.
What material is the puller made from?
The puller is machined from solid steel to provide maximum strength and durability for workshop use.
Does the tool come with all necessary parts?
Yes, the tool includes the dedicated force screw with a ball end and a dedicated crankshaft insert top hat.
Troubleshooting
Puller legs do not grip the crankshaft pulley securely.
Ensure the puller is correctly aligned and the legs are fully engaged with the pulley's legs. Check for any obstructions or damage on the pulley legs.
Force screw is difficult to turn or binds.
Verify that the force screw has been properly lubricated with molybdenum disulphide grease. Clean any debris from the screw threads and the receiving end of the puller.
Pulley is not releasing, or excessive force is required.
Double-check that the correct puller is being used for the specific engine model and year. Ensure all fasteners holding the pulley are removed. Apply force gradually and steadily.
Damage to the vibration damper during removal.
This usually indicates improper use. Ensure the puller's legs are correctly seated and force is applied only via the force screw mechanism onto the pulley's central hub, not the damper itself.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the force screw is adequately lubricated with molybdenum disulphide grease before use.
- Position the three machined legs of the puller onto the three legs of the crankshaft pulley.
- Thread the force screw into the center of the puller mechanism.
- Use an appropriate wrench or socket on the force screw head to apply steady, even pressure to withdraw the pulley.
Compatibility:
- Primary Application: Post-2023 Ford Transit and Ranger models equipped with the 2.0 Ecoblue diesel engine.
- Ford OEM Reference: For crankshaft pulley 2789483.
- Equivalent Tool: OEM 6667 (when used with pulley 2789483).
