Unleash the Power of Bearing Puller Slide Hammers: A Game-Changer for Bearing Removal

Bearing puller slide hammers are indispensable tools for any mechanic or technician tasked with removing bearings from various equipment and machinery. Our expertly crafted slide hammers are engineered to make bearing removal a breeze, saving you time, effort, and potential damage.

Effective Strategies, Tips and Tricks

Choose the right slide hammer: Consider the size and type of bearing you need to remove. Smaller bearings require smaller slide hammers, while larger bearings may need a more powerful model.

Prepare the bearing: Clean and lubricate the bearing and the area around it. This will reduce friction and prevent damage.

Attach the slide hammer: Connect the slide hammer's jaws to the bearing and tighten them securely. Ensure that the jaws are properly aligned.

Pull the slide hammer: Grasp the slide hammer's handle and pull it sharply. The weight of the hammer will generate enough force to remove the bearing.

Slide Hammer Capacity	Slide Weight
1-3 tons	5 lbs
3-6 tons	10 lbs
6-10 tons	15 lbs

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using too much force: Be gentle with the slide hammer. Excessive force can damage the bearing or surrounding components.

Pulling at an angle: Always pull straight toward the center of the bearing. Pulling at an angle can cause damage or make the bearing difficult to remove.

Hammering the slide hammer: The slide hammer is designed to be pulled, not hammered. Hammering can damage the hammer and make it less effective.

Mistake	Possible Consequences
Using too much force	Bearing damage, component damage
Pulling at an angle	Bearing damage, difficulty in removal
Hammering the slide hammer	Hammer damage, reduced effectiveness
