The Two-Jaw Bearing and Gear Puller is an essential tool for mechanical maintenance

A two-jaw mechanical gear puller is a hand tool that removes press-fit components such as gears, and bearings, and pulleys, sprockets and bushings from shafts without damaging the surrounding assembly. The puller's heavy-duty construction enables the removal of stubborn parts in automotive applications, industrial maintenance and mechanical work.

Design & key features

The central forcing screw of the puller has a T-handle to provide manual leverage when extracting components; the tip of the center screw is tapered to seat securely against the center of a shaft so that slippage will not occur while turning. Each jaw on either side of the spindle are adjustable and have hooked ends which slide behind the component being removed. Cross bolts with locking nuts hold these jaws parallel to one another and fix their spread width so that they can maintain a firm grip under tension. The cross-bracing prevents the legs from bowing out or coming loose on the part being removed during high torque extraction.

Functionality

• Positioning: the two hooked jaws will hook around the back edge of the gear or bearing.
• Alignment: turn the central threaded screw (T-handle) until the pointed end of the screw is centered in the shaft dimple.
• Securing: tighten the bolts on each jaw so they remain locked in position.
• Removal: rotate the T-handle clockwise to turn the central screw into the shaft. This creates a constant and even pull force throughout the jaws which removes the tight component from the shaft.

Mechanics, technicians and serious DIYers use a two-jaw puller to provide efficient and safe removal of components from all types of vehicles including lawn mowers, heavy machinery, electric motors and alternators.
