I trashed the large rod first use. The rod kit from Z1 is $48, seems steep when i just need 1 rod and 2 nuts. Anyone know if that 3/4" APR rod can be source elsewhere or of a suitable substitute? Possibly even a larger rod?

You can pick up a standard length of 3/4” threaded rod at Home Depot or Lowe’s for $10-15.

I personally did the job with 1/2” rod, hardware and a piece of 4” channel steel.

Mine must have been jammed in way harder than yours. There is no way a standard 3/4 allthread will work with as much force as i had to use, it would strip way before the bushing would move. The one that comes with the puller is hardened and has a non standard thread. I looked on the ARP website but i didn't see anything like it.

You can get threaded rods from McMaster-Carr
