Mechanical Puller

Within Engine & Transmission Repairs, Mechanical Puller covers the gear, bearing, and pulley puller tools used to remove press-fit components from shafts and housings — covering 2-leg and 3-leg gear pullers, hydraulic pullers, blind-bore bearing pullers, slide-hammer pullers, and the specialist puller geometries used in engine, transmission, and powertrain service work.

Parts for Machines supplies mechanical pullers across the trade and professional ranges, covering tools sized for small bearing-and-pulley work through to heavy-duty pullers for HGV, agricultural, and plant powertrain components.

We are an authorised distributor and seller of Sykes-Pickavant across the mechanical puller range. Sykes-Pickavant is widely specified for engine, transmission, and powertrain puller work — covering 2-leg and 3-leg pullers across the standard reach-and-spread sizes, hydraulic puller kits, and the specific blind-bore and internal puller designs needed for hard-access components.

Product pages list the puller type (2-leg, 3-leg, hydraulic, blind-bore, internal), the spread range (the distance between the leg tips — sets the diameter range the puller can grip), the reach (the depth from the centre-screw to the leg tip — sets how far the puller can reach into a recess), the rated capacity in tonnes (typical 1-3 tonne for cars and light components, 5-15 tonne for trade work, 20+ tonne for heavy plant), the centre-screw size and thread (typically M12, M16, M20, M24), and the kit contents for multi-piece sets. Most workshops carry a 2-leg / 3-leg combination set covering 100-200mm spread for general bearing-and-pulley work, plus larger pullers for heavier components. Trade pricing on multi-tool and workshop-kit orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.

FAQs

A 2-leg puller has two opposing legs gripping the component on opposite sides — works well on pulleys with two flat sides or grooves, gear-and-pulley combinations with a clear grip surface. A 3-leg puller has three legs spaced 120 degrees apart — distributes pulling force more evenly, less likely to twist or skid the component, preferred for round bearings and gears with no flat sides. Trade workshops typically carry both. The leg count is listed on every puller product page.

A mechanical (screw-driven) puller uses a threaded centre-screw turned by a wrench or socket — workable for bearings and pulleys up to about 3-5 tonne pulling force. A hydraulic puller uses a hydraulic ram in place of (or alongside) the centre-screw — much higher force (10-30+ tonne) with controlled, smooth pulling action. For heavy plant components (large gears, taper-fit components, seized bearings), hydraulic pullers are needed. For routine workshop use, mechanical is sufficient.

Spread (distance between leg tips) must be slightly larger than the diameter of the component being pulled — too small, the legs won't fit around it. Reach (depth from centre-screw to leg tip) must be sufficient for the leg tip to reach the back of the component (or the housing face) without the centre-screw bottoming out before pulling starts. Measure the component diameter and the depth before ordering. Spread and reach are listed on every puller product page.

A slide-hammer puller has a weighted slide hammer running along a centre rod, with a puller jaw or hook at one end. The operator slams the slide-hammer against an end-stop, transferring impact force through the puller jaw to the component — useful for removing seized bearings, axle shafts, and dent-pulling work where steady screw-pull won't shift the component. Slide-hammers don't replace screw or hydraulic pullers; they're a complement for impact-shock removal.
