BEARING/GEAR PULLER ASSEMBLY
FOR BEARING/GEAR PULLING
• Select the Bearing Separator Jaw size (C OR D) as required.
• Measure the distance from the inner surface of the bearing or gear to be pulled and the end of
the shaft it is mounted to.
• Select the set of Posts (E OR F) and Extensions (G OR H) to fit the Bearing Separator Jaws
(C OR D) being used.
• The selected components must be assembled from the Jaws outward.
• Place the halves of the Jaws (C OR D) with the beveled edges around the back of the bearing
or gear to be pulled.
• Draw the halves inward by tightening the nuts on the Jaw Stems.
• Determine whether Post Extensions (G OR H) are needed.
• Thread the ends of the selected Post Extensions (G OR H) (if needed) into the threaded holes
of the Jaws.
• Thread the non-shouldered ends of the Posts (E OR F) into the Post Extensions (G OR H) or
directly into the threaded holes of the Jaws (C OR D).
• Center and place the open ends of the Yoke (A) (with the offset boss facing outward) over the
shouldered ends of the Posts (E OR F).
• Place a washer over the threaded Post ends and against the face of the Yoke (A).
• Thread the Nuts over the exposed Post threads and tighten in place.
• Thread the Pressure Screw (B) into the Yoke (A) as far as necessary to contact the end of
the shaft to pulled against.
• Following the above procedure, the assembly should resemble that in Fig 1 (FIG 1).

FOR BEARING/HOUSING SEPARATING
• Select the needed Bearing Separator Jaw size (C OR D) as required (FIG 2).
• Place the halves of the Jaws (C OR D) with the beveled edges around the halves of the bearing
and housing to be separated.
• Draw the halves inward by tightening the nuts on the Jaw Stems.
BEARING/GEAR PULLER OPERATION
FOR BEARING/GEAR PULLING
• Be sure the nuts keeping tension on the Jaw (C OR D) halves are kept tight and the two halves
of the Jaw are drawn in evenly.
• Rotate the Hex on the end of the Pressure Screw (B) slowly and steadily exerting pressure until
the bearing or gear is released from its shaft.
FOR BEARING SEPARATING
• Apply a small amount of a heavy-bodied lubricant on the beveled edges of the Jaws (C OR D).
• Draw the Jaw halves inward by tightening the nuts on the Jaw Stems equally. It is best to
alternate tightening each side with one turn each steadily exerting pressure until the bearing
and housing separates.
