I am eyeing a job that would involve pulling large gears off their

This being the United States of America, I am sure that commercial
solutions have been developed for that kind of thing. I wonder what
sort of places should I call to rent some big gear pullers?

How are they retained on the shaft? Press fit, clamp collar, set screws,
gib key? For big gears I usually use a set of wedges. That or machinist
jacks.
