Product Information
Full details
The Sealey PS983 is a professional-grade, 10-piece multipurpose tool kit designed for automotive technicians and serious DIY mechanics who require a robust solution for bearing removal and bodywork repair. Its key strength lies in its versatility, offering eight distinct configurations for internal, external, and dent pulling tasks, though its 7.69kg total weight and 580mm shaft length mean it is best suited for heavy-duty workshop environments rather than compact or delicate small-engine work.

FAQs
What is the maximum pulling capacity of this set?
The set has a diameter capacity range of Ø30-110mm and an 83mm reach.
Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty truck bearings?
This set is designed primarily for standard automotive applications; it may not be suitable for large-scale heavy-duty truck or industrial bearings.
Can the dent puller attachment be used on aluminum panels?
While it can be used for pulling, aluminum behaves differently than steel. Care must be taken to avoid over-stretching the metal.
Does the set come with a warranty?
Sealey products typically carry a manufacturer's guarantee against defects; please refer to your proof of purchase and Sealey's terms.
How do I swap between different pulling configurations?
The attachments are threaded to screw onto the end of the slide hammer shaft. Ensure they are hand-tightened securely before beginning.
Troubleshooting
The slide hammer weight is sticking on the shaft.
Clean the shaft thoroughly with a solvent to remove old grease or grit and apply a thin coat of clean machine oil.
The puller legs slip off the component during operation.
Ensure the legs are properly tensioned and seated deeper behind the component; verify that the puller configuration matches the size range of the part.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High versatility with eight distinct tool configurations
- Sturdy build quality capable of handling high-torque applications
- Wide capacity range suits most standard passenger vehicle bearings and hubs
- Comprehensive kit includes all necessary adapters for common pulling jobs
- Durable storage case ensures longevity and organization
Cons
- Total weight of 7.69kg makes it somewhat cumbersome for quick, minor tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure that the chosen configuration matches the specific requirements of the component being extracted. For bearing removal, always ensure the puller legs are fully engaged behind the inner race to prevent slippage.
Maintenance Tips:
- Keep the slide hammer shaft clean and lightly lubricated with a thin film of machine oil to ensure smooth travel of the hammer weight.
- Periodically check all threaded connectors on the attachments to ensure they are tight and free of debris.
- After use, wipe down all components with a clean rag to remove grease and metal dust before placing them back into the storage case to prevent corrosion.
