With modern cars running things as light as ATF in their transmissions and differentials, and back dating recommendations for lighter oils, I find myself seriously pondering using something other the

Only thing that concerns me is the use of a flat faced bolt as the center pusher. The original one (there's one on e-bay right now btw) used a ball there. Gear pullers use a swivel foot. This prevent

Sure it can handle it, if you use the right type. Then it's rated up to around 400 psi, and some change. Even the thin walled cheap stuff routinely handles the nominal 60 psi of residential water sys
