    I recommend Leaf or South Mississippi Light Aircraft.

    Thanks! I have been buying parts from LEAF for awhile now and they have top notch service, did not know they did engine work too. Although its a long flight from California, might be worth it!

    Let me save everyone the same treasure hunt I just went through trying to find these items...

    Rotax gear puller:
    https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...s/15-05923.php

    41mm socket:
    https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...12-03448-1.php

    If, like me, you don't have a 3/4" drive tool, they also list a 3/4"-to-1/2" drive adapter:
    https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...12-03452-3.php

    If you prefer lower prices, there are plenty of 41mm sockets on Amazon:
    https://www.amazon.com/s?k=41mm+socket

    ...as well as 3/4"-to-1/2" adapters:
    https://www.amazon.com/s?k=3%2F4+mal...socket+adapter

    Just be sure to order the right combination of 1/2" female to 3/4" male; the Amazon search mixes up both options.
