What's the puller for? Reason I ask is that I completely rebuilt my driveline without that kit.

Old news. Photobucket decided to put a gun to your head and demand money for what they initially said would be free hosting.

Many of us have switched over to postimg.cc and rebuilt our earlier posts.

Go to General Discussion here on the site. It's the fourth topic down from the top. That should help. It's pretty straightforward.

And if you are using Chrome as your browser (you should be) you can put the photobucket embed fix addon on the browser and you will be able to see your pics as long as you have not removed them from Photobucket.
