FAQs

A mechanical puller uses a threaded centre bolt or screw — turning the bolt draws the puller jaws and the trapped component apart. Capacity is normally 2-15 tonnes; the standard for cars, light commercials, and most automotive applications. A hydraulic puller uses a hydraulic ram to apply force — capacities run from 10 tonnes up to 30+ tonnes, used for commercial-vehicle, agricultural, and heavy-plant applications where higher force is needed to break heavily-seized or large pressed components apart.

Two-jaw pullers grip across opposing flat faces — ideal for pulleys, fan hubs, and components with two clear gripping faces. Three-jaw pullers grip on three points around the component — more secure on round components like gears, bearings, and harmonic balancers. Reversible-jaw pullers can be configured to pull from inside (gripping inside a bore) or outside (gripping the outside diameter) — the most versatile choice for mixed workshop use. Match jaw configuration to the gripping surfaces available on the part.
