Besides the dif in the potting & wires gauge, notice the aftermarket magnet width vs MC.
Got to be a big difference in field strength. Signal is based on how quick it breaks the magnetic field.

Any advice as to what gear puller will work best for me? I've tried a few from O'Reilly's loan a tool. They just keep slipping off before I can apply enough torque to get the thing to budge at all. I've tried heating up the gear. I'm almost at the point where I'm going to bring it to a mechanic

If you've got to use a puller, I'd generally guess a small 2-jaw would work fine.
Usually if I'm having issues with it "slipping" I'll just get a big hose clamp, or even some Thick Rubber bands, and put them around the outside of the jaws to hold things in place.

Got a HF near by-->Bearing Separator and Puller Set
Looking at the picture, I really don't know how that is going to work. Is it pretty self explanatory when I get my hands on it ?

Another option is to check with an auto parts store that is local, most chain stores have those puller sets available as a loaner.
