MASTER AXLE PULLER SET
Axle Pulling - Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles
Slide hammer may be used for pulling axles on rear wheel drive vehicles using the
yoke and slide hammer tools. In the tool case these tools are labeled "Slide
Hammer"', "Slide Screw", "Locknut" and "Yoke".
1. Remove rear wheel and brake drum. See 648611a. Install yoke to wheel
studs. See Figure 648611b. Install and tighten lug nuts. See Figure
648611c.
2. See manufacturer's servicing instructions and follow procedures for release
of the axle shaft from inside of the axle carrier. This usually involves
removing the rear cover from the axle and removing a retaining fastener.
3. Screw the end of the slide screw into the mating threads on yoke, and
tighten locknut securely. See Figure 648611d.
4. Position the slide hammer weight against the yoke. See Figure 648611e.
Rapidly slide the weight toward the handle end until it hits the ball-shaped
stop. See Figure 648611f. Repeat this procedure until axle shaft can be
removed. See Figure 648611g.
Seal and Bearing Pulling Using Bearing Adapter - Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles
Slide hammer may be used for seals and bearings on rear wheel drive vehicles
using the bearing adapters and finger hook. In the tool case the bearing adapters
are labeled 1" - 1 7/8", 1 5/16"- 2 3/8" and 1 3/8"-2 7/8". In the tool case the finger
hook is labeled "hook".
1. Install finger hook to slide hammer and place behind bearing seal. Position the weight against the yoke. Rapidly slide the weight toward
the handle end until it hits the ball-shaped stop and the seal is removed. See Figures 648611h and 648611i.
2. Determine the correct fitting bearing adapter and install to slide hammer. Place the bearing adapter behind bearing and operate the slide
hammer as outlined above until bearing is removed. See Figure 648611j.
Seals and Bearing Pulling Using Puller Jaws & Yoke - Front & Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles
Slide hammer may be used for pulling bearings and seals, etc. by using the puller jaws and yoke. Use either the 2-jaw yoke or the 3-jaw yoke as
appropriate. Other pieces required are jaws and bolt and nut combinations and cone. In the tool case these tools are labeled "2 jaw yoke", "3-jaw
yoke", "jaws", "cone" and "shoulder bolts".
1. Attach jaws to the yoke with the provided shoulder bolts and nuts. For inside pulls, the jaws should be installed to the yoke facing out-
