Alt puller M16, not M18 was created by Kubik
Good day eh, just pulled the alternator during a rebuild. This is for a 1980 KZ750/4 LTD.
The listed alternator puller is an M18 puller bolt. It it did not fit. Turns out though Kawasaki also used, apparently when they felt like it, alternators with an M16 puller bolt. Got one, zzzip with air gun, and off she came.
Reason I pulled it is to change the oil seal behind it. The new seals came in the gasket kit, so I figure WTH, install the new one. Likely needed anyway.
