Bearing Puller (Gear Puller)
A bearing puller is a tool with jaws and a central screw for removing bearings, pulleys and gears from shafts.
What is Bearing Puller (Gear Puller)?
Two-jaw and three-jaw versions exist. Separator plates grip behind tight bearings. Hub pullers are used for wheel bearings. Wheel bearings are often pressed in, so a hydraulic press or a dedicated hub tool may be needed.
How it works
The jaws hook behind the part while the screw pushes against the shaft end, drawing the part off.
Why it matters for your car
Make sure the jaws grip evenly so the part does not tilt. Wear eye protection; parts can release suddenly.
