In Focus: OTC Multipurpose Bearing and Pulley Puller Set

The OTC Multipurpose Bearing and Pulley Puller Set, No. 4534, is designed to help technicians pull bearings, alternators, generators, power steering and crankshaft pulleys, timing gears and harmonic balancers. The set includes drop-forged steel components that are hardened for long life, reliability and durability, according to the company. The contents of the set include two forcing screws, two cross-bar yokes, two clamp bolts, three pairs of puller jaws, one pair of jaw pins with ball spring and three pairs of capped bolts. Everything is housed in a blow molded plastic storage case.

Application

Pullers are designed to help technicians remove vehicle parts faster and with less effort. Using a slide hammer can help in removing bearings, gears and seals without damaging surrounding parts. Multiple adapters included with the Multipurpose Bearing and Pulley Puller Set allow for success in various pulling jobs on flange-type rear axles and most FWD hubs. The slide hammer movement puts direct impact on the part needing removed, avoiding potential damage to other vehicle components.

Selling points

Multiple adapters allow the tool to be used on a wide array of jobs, including pulling bearings, pullers, timing gears, harmonic balancers and more. The kit also can create nearly a dozen different pullers with varying jaw sizes, jaw depth and pulling strength to create the correct puller for nearly any job.

Origin

Founded as a puller company, OTC is rooted in removing stuck or frozen vehicle parts. A versatile puller set is a vital tool for every technician to own. The idea originated from the need to pull vehicle parts rather than prying or striking, and not forcing a technician to purchase multiple pullers when a multi-purpose set will work well. With similar sizes and installation for various vehicle parts, an adjustable, build-your-own puller set helps a technician find the correct puller quickly.
