operation
This tool is designed to pull bearings, pulleys and the like from shafts. The
jaws are designed to grip the bearing from the outside or inside, whichever
offers the better grip. The piston will push on the central shaft while the jaws
pull away. This will keep the item in alignment with the shaft as it is removed.
Keeping the bearing aligned prevents binding and possible damage to the
bearing.
There are three different bearing centers provided for best fit on the bearing
or pulley you are working with.
cauTion:
This tool will deliver up to 24,000 lbs. (12 tons) of pulling force. Do
not use this tool on any workpiece that cannot withstand this amount of
pressure. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety glasses and full face
shield and keep bystanders away during work in case the bearing should
break during removal.
1. Select the Bearing Center
which is the best fit for the
item you are pulling. Press the
selected Bearing Center onto
the end of the Piston Shaft as
shown in the photo at right.
2. Place the Jaws around (or in)
the item to be pulled. Be sure
they will have a positive grip.
3. While holding the Jaws in
place, rotate the Puller Unit in
the Puller Sleeve until the end
of the Bearing Center contacts the workpiece.
4. Operate the Handle by rotating it clockwise. This will operate the enclosed
hydraulic pump, forcing the Piston and Bearing center downward.
5. Continue to operate the handle, being sure the jaws stay in place and no
damage is being done to the workpiece. In most cases, a certain amount of
pressure will build up, and the bearing will suddenly release and be loose
on the shaft. While the release will be sudden, it will move only slightly. The
Gear Puller will suddenly become loose, be sure it does not fall.
6. Remove the Gear Puller from the workpiece. Disassemble the gear puller.
Replace the Gear Puller set in its carrying case and store properly.
