FAQs

What types of bearings can this set remove?

This set is primarily designed for removing inner bearings and bushes that are housed within a component or in blind holes, where internal access is possible for the collets.

How do I choose the right collet?

Select the collet that fits snugly inside the inner diameter of the bearing or bush you need to remove. There should be minimal play for effective grip.

What are the screw adaptor sizes?

The set includes three screw adaptor sizes: M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, and M10 x 1.5.

Can this set be used for external bearings?

No, this set is specifically for internal bearings and blind bushes. It requires an internal surface to grip onto.

How many collets are included?

The set includes ten collets with inner diameter ranges from 8-11mm up to 54-58mm.

Is there a case included?

Yes, the set comes with a case to keep all the components organized and protected.

What is the main benefit of using a slide hammer?

The slide hammer provides a concentrated, impactful force that is effective for dislodging seized or tightly fitted bearings and bushes, often more so than static pulling methods.

Troubleshooting

Slide hammer not engaging collet.

Ensure the screw adaptor is correctly threaded into the collet and that the slide hammer attachment is securely fastened to the adaptor.

Collet not gripping the bearing/bush.

Select a collet size that provides a snug fit. If the fit is loose, the collet may slip. For some applications, a slight tapping with a mallet might help seat the collet.

Component not extracting after several strikes.

Verify that the correct collet and adaptor are used. Ensure the screw adaptor is firmly engaged. Sometimes, applying a penetrating oil and allowing it to soak can help loosen seized components before attempting extraction again. Ensure you are applying force directly to the component.

Tool components feel loose.

Check that all threaded connections between the slide hammer, screw adaptor, and collet are tightened securely before use. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for many bearing and bush sizes.
  • Includes essential slide hammer for effective pulling.
  • Designed for difficult-to-reach inner bearings and blind bushes.
  • Durable construction for professional use.
  • Organized kit for easy component selection.

Cons

  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper use.
  • Not suitable for external bearings or components without a suitable inner lip.
  • Slide hammer force needs careful application to avoid damage.
  • Specific screw adaptors may not fit all applications without custom modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the bearing or bush to be removed.
  2. Select the collet that best fits the inner diameter of the bearing or bush.
  3. Choose the appropriate screw adaptor that threads into the selected collet and matches the slide hammer attachment.
  4. Secure the collet and screw adaptor to the slide hammer.
  5. Carefully position the collet around or into the component to be extracted.
  6. Apply force using the slide hammer with controlled, steady strokes.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for inner bearings, blind bushes, and puller applications where a secure internal grip can be achieved by the collets. It is compatible with components within the size ranges specified by the collets (8mm to 58mm) and requires a corresponding screw thread for the adaptors (M6, M8, M10).

Care:

After use, clean all components with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris. Store the set in its original case to prevent loss or damage to individual parts. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the tool or the component being removed.
