Thks, Gunner!

This group is a real resource!

I see after some research that MSC sells the same Sopko puller that K.O. Lee
supplied OEM for only about $16.

I am debating getting one of the fancy Sopko balancing adapter "collets" or
trying to Rube something up to actually balance the wheel. I have seen
schemes that involve squashing fishing split-shot sinkers in a cardboard
flange-cushion. That would likely work, but seems kind of inelegant and hard
to adjust. Other, even ruder, schemes involve hogging the side of the wheel
off selectively with an angle grinder.

I guess I will concentrate first on building some balancing ways and a
tapered arbor for the wheel/adapter to ride on.

Unless you've got an unusual adapter, it's .984-16. This page shows
the various adapters Sopko makes. They're not very expensive, but I
made one similar to #116 recently when I didn't want to wait.

Thats what mine is. (I just went out and measured)
