I was hoping someone could chime in with the part number for the puller; although, with my luck it is no longer available. This looks like it a die cast type can't be pry off without damaging it. I try going to the nut, bolt, and screw warehouse when I am in town again to see if they have a nut that will fit it. The saw runs very good except on it side and I hate to just give up because this. This gear is no longer available so I can't just cut it off.
I have already had to retire two McCulloughs MacCats due oil pump problems. I have replaced one with a Poulan 4218AVX which has an upgraded cylinder. I replaced the regular cylinder with a NCC version just had to use a matching piston, still 42CC but with more compression.
