Questions & Answers
It's a universal bearing removal tool that can be used on anything that needs a bearing or pulley removed up to about 8 inches in circumference.
Because it has a 13mm head, I believe you are correct about the thread pitch. My 1/2 socket also fit fine.
It should be noted that with pulleys less than 1 1/2 (36mm or so), getting jaws to set properly can be difficult. However, once you've committed, things should go smoothly. To loosen the pulley, lubricate the shaft with a little lubricant and gently tap it. And trust me when I say small and gentle.
It's impossible to assemble with two jaws because they're all three jaws with three equal spacers. or it would not pull evenly if you did. They arrive in a disassembled state, with no instructions. Don't squander your money on garbage.

These are fine; the reason they don't come with instructions is that you should be able to figure them out if you're pulling things apart, and they come in pieces because you assemble them to the specific application you're working on.
It's a great deal for the money. I assumed there would be one puller when I placed my order. Three sets of jaws, which turn out to be three separate pullers that are all boxed separately inside a larger box when they arrive. ***Instructions ARE INCLUDED**
(contrary to what some reviews claim. ) [At the time of this writing, it is the year 2020. ] br>br>Although the metal used for the jaws appears to be softer than I'd prefer, these will work fine for the average person using them in their garage at home, but if you're planning on taking them to your maintenance job at the local slaughterhouse or whatever (like me), make sure that the company you work for replaces any tools you bring in if they break while on the job. I'm not saying they're bad, just saying that they probably wouln't The only other thing I would change about them is that instead of the standard nuts that came with them, they should come with nylon lock nuts. As a result, you can leave the arms loose and not lose any nuts while using the puller. Also, I wouldn't use an impact with a slam of more than 1000 lbs. They shouldn't have a lot of torque on them, but low to mid-power impacts should be fine. br>Final Thoughts: For only $2X, it's a steal. For three pullers, nothing beats XX. If each person can pull at least one or two gears, sprockets, and so on. I believe I will have gotten my money's worth before they fail or even get me out of a bad situation once. br> I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to use the jaws that came with them as a template for making new ones out of harder steel, but we'll have to wait and see. see.
When I saw this set of three, I realized that having a few extra sizes would be useful for future repairs. It wasn't a big deal that they arrived disassembled. It only took a few minutes for each of the pieces to be put together. They worked great for my repair, though the larger size almost ran out of travel; I'm sure a more expensive set would have included a larger center screw, but I'm not complaining for the price. They were successful in the end. The small bolts and nuts that connect the arms are my one major gripe. Because you can't properly tighten the nuts because they'll prevent the arms from pivoting freely, they'll loosen up over time. I'm not sure why the manufacturer didn't use nylock or similar nuts. If these had been included, the rating would have been raised to a five-star rating. It's still a good set of pullers even if the standard fasteners are used.
In general, everything went well. The middle puller has the same diameter holes for hardware as the large one, but the smallest puller's hardware. This is likely to put a strain on the attaching hardware, and if the puller is under a lot of load, the hardware may fail. The middle one has a lot of slope. I spent $3 to replace the middle ones' hardware. 65br>br>Will use them and updatebr>br>The company contacted me and offered to pay for the hardware, which is great, but I suggested they fix the real problem, and they said they'd look into it. br>br>I'm updating to add another star because of the seller's customer service, and I'm hoping they've resolved the bolts issue. They work fine now that they've been modified.
Purchase a set of grade 8 bolts and a nylon lock- replacing the original hardware with nuts I also got some washers and put it all together with a little grease at each joint so that the locknuts stay tight but moveable, and they don't rotate off by themselves. For the money, it's a good deal. Before the bolts could pass through, some of the holes still had casting remnants that needed to be filed away. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. I'm looking forward to putting them to use.
These pullers will get the job done, but at ten times the price, you can't expect them to be as good as a professional set. Before you start screwing it in, grease the threaded shaft and run a rag through the spider. You'll be threading the needle, and the grease will come in handy. br>The puller arm hooks are simply cast; only the large puller was ground, so the smaller ones may need to be sharpened with a grinder, as the edges are round and may not grip something narrow if not sharpened. br>The spider on the biggest puller has some casting voids, so it might not be able to withstand high pressure. The only way to find out is to wait. br>However, based on what you can expect from a cheap set of pullers, I'm still giving it four stars.
One of the arms had a significant "bur" from being ground down. "Some assembly was required," and as I was putting the unit together, it cut my finger like a razor, leaving a steel splinter in my hand. Ouch. I suppose I should be furious about it. It is, however, a reasonably priced tool that appears to be well-made. I'd like the main threaded shaft to be a little more precise as well. Under no load, it doesn't turn smoothly and in some places, it almost requires a wrench. A little lubricant, I believe, will be beneficial.
This did what it was supposed to do and came completely disassembled, which seemed ridiculous given the price. However, once put together, it worked perfectly and solved the problem for which I bought it. It was fairly simple to put together, but that's 30 minutes of effort for something that was supposed to be low-effort. If you could only get it for ten dollars, that would be fantastic. It would be perfect for the annoyance of having to put something together yourself.
