About 1" total length of the gear to the end of the shaft you're pushing on.

John - If the 3 screws were replaced with longer ones, would it not give you more than an inch to work with?
Back when I was into slot cars I had a K&B gear puller I wanted to add longer screws to it. When I did it would try and skew to one side as I tightened down. I cured it by cutting some 1/4" steel tubing and making sure all the tubing was exactly the same length once the frame of the puller was pulled down tight on the steel tubing the puller was quite rigid and worked well. j
