Product Description

To ensure a long life of your car, SUV, or light truck, remove oil and grease seals

Bearings and housing can be removed without damage to them

By getting under seals by using a hook tip in two sizes and a professional handle design, hard-to-reach seals can be removed.

With this tool, the hook tip is double-secured so you can use it for a long time

There is one extra blade included with the product

Questions & Answers

The maximum size of a seal this can pull is what? What is the minimum size? It should be able to handle all types. Are there automotive seals such as those in the transmission input shaft (small) or the rear main shaft ?

A SMALL SEAL will do just as well as a larger one.

Is this product suitable for seals on semi trucks?

What is your reasoning for not doing so? It should be able to lift a 6 inch circ seal without much effort, as long as you use the tool straight. You should not use the tool in a sideways manner. Then you get out a nail looking like you just used a hammer - not very good!

Selected User Reviews For OTC 4508 Professional Style Seal Puller

I give it an OK rating for easy removal of seals, but it should be wider if the old seal is to be preserved

3/5

I was able to make it work, but that was The following points are well worth mentioning The seal removing hook portion of the tool is made of good quality steel, making it well made. Also included with the kit is a spare seal removal hook, shown in the picture. (Why would you need another A diameter hook and two radius hooks are also included. There are a few points to avoid This tool tends to rip a gash into the old seal when removing the seal, because it is just too thin for the job. Once you have done so, you will have to go to a different part of the seal. If you get a really stubborn seal, this could be a problem for you since there is no good meat left to pry against because the seal has been heavily gashed. It almost didn't occur to me to take mine out. The seal pullers I have seen are 1/4" wide, so tearing a gash is nothing to worry about. You can see what I mean by looking closely at the picture. This one is only about 1/8" wide. That's not to say that I'm negative. It would have been impossible for me to remove the rear axle seals on my 98 Expedition without a seal puller (don't even think of using a screwdriver), but there are better ones available. Although the price is reasonable, it is a bit on the high side. It would be better to get a wider one if I was doing seals all the time.

No, the right tool is not here

3/5

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make use of this tool. Seal pullers have a blade thin enough to almost appear like a knife, so that they can cut through sealed surfaces effortlessly. In my experience, I found most success with a flathead screwdriver on a pinion seal on my differential. It would be better for me to use my screwdriver that is already in my possession rather than continue to spend money on this unnecessary tool.

The tool truck was missing one of these, so I bought one to replace it

3/5

One of the tools I purchased was to replace one that was on a tool truck that I'd Having picked up the old motor in the garage with my 4 year old son sent it away to Never Never Land.
This one pulled out the seals quite well. In just my first two days of using these seals, I've already experienced a significant bend at the puller head. Using this tool, I succeeded in pulling the seals out, which I would not have been able to do otherwise. There are other brands out there with better quality Steel, but this is not one of them.

It's the same old story OTC makes I really appreciated the fact that it worked so well and saved my life

5/5

Seals are some things that you can't dig out with a screwdriver. Where this tool stands out like the sun is in that situation! Now that it is in my toolbox, I am so glad. As well as being very good quality.

There is a very good chance that this tool will last a lifetime or even longer

5/5

Heavy Duty tool that is made of solid steel and is included with an additional attachment in case the original wears out after heavy use for 20 years. To prevent accidental scoring on aluminum cases, the spike tips on the head might need to be rounded off a bit. Excellent tool. I highly recommend it.

The handle is easy to grip and easy to use

5/5

I used it on both small and large diameter seals with great success. Because there are two sizes of hooks that are perfect, removing seals is a piece of cake. It also has a comfortable handle, which is better than the "dipped" handle other brands have.

The seals are pulled to grease the trailers

5/5

Grease seals can be easily pulled from boat or utility trailers with this puller. Ones stuck in come out easily even when they are stuck. You're a lot more likely to succeed with a screwdriver than a screwdriver itself. Probably I would have discovered this tool years ago if I knew it existed. Five stars from the bottom of my heart!.

Snaps out seals with just a couple of pops

5/5

Seal pullers are cheap and bend before removing the seal, and that's why you should be careful regarding their use. Using a tool designed for OTC, this puller loosened a seal with silicone sealer that refused to come off without bending or flexing I believe it will last me for a long time, and it will make a wonderful addition to my tool box.
