Product Information
Full details
This GEARWRENCH 3627 Ratcheting Puller Set is for automotive and industrial professionals needing to efficiently remove press-fit components. Its key benefit is the innovative ratcheting jaw design and reversible functionality, offering quick, secure, and time-saving operation. A potential caveat is the limited maximum spread on the smaller 2-ton puller for larger jobs. The set includes a 2-ton and a 5-ton puller, featuring self-indexing legs, easy conversion between two- and three-leg configurations, and reversible jaws for external or internal pulling.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ratcheting jaw design?
The ratcheting jaw design allows for quick, secure tightening onto the component with continuous force application, reducing the need for manual adjustments and speeding up the removal process.
Can I use this set for very large components?
The set includes a 2-ton puller with a maximum spread of 3-1/4 inches and a 5-ton puller with a maximum spread of 5 inches. For components exceeding these dimensions, a larger capacity puller may be necessary.
How do I switch between internal and external pulling?
To switch, you need to reverse the jaws. This is typically done by removing the locking pins, rotating the jaw ends, and re-inserting the pins. The set allows this conversion in seconds.
What types of components can this puller remove?
This set is designed for removing press-fit components such as gears, pulleys, bearings, and other similar parts found in automotive and industrial applications.
How should I maintain the pullers for longevity?
After use, clean the pullers to remove dirt and grease. Apply a light coat of oil to metal parts, especially threads, to prevent rust. Store them in the provided blow-mold case.
What is the difference between the 2-ton and 5-ton pullers?
The primary difference is their weight capacity; the 2-ton puller is suitable for lighter tasks and has a smaller maximum spread (3-1/4"), while the 5-ton puller can handle heavier loads and has a larger maximum spread (5").
Can I use this as a 2-leg or 3-leg puller?
Yes, the design allows you to easily convert between two-leg and three-leg configurations to adapt to different component shapes and accessibility.
Troubleshooting
Jaws slipping off the component
Ensure jaws are properly reversed for internal or external pulling. Check that the jaws are securely tightened onto a stable surface or lip of the component. For external pulling, ensure the jaws are gripping the widest possible part of the component.
Puller not applying sufficient force
Verify that the correct capacity puller (2-ton or 5-ton) is being used for the job. Check that the center screw is making solid contact. Ensure all components are clean and lubricated. For extremely seized parts, consider using a penetrating lubricant or heat (with caution).
Legs do not stay in position
Ensure the legs are fully seated in the indexing slots. If resistance is high, the legs may shift; re-engage them securely. Check for any debris in the indexing mechanism.
Difficulty converting jaw configuration
Ensure the locking pins are fully removed before attempting to reverse the jaws. Clean any debris from the jaw pivot points.

- Ratcheting mechanism speeds up engagement and removal.
- Quick conversion between external and internal pulling.
- Adjustable leg configurations (2 or 3 legs).
- Legs lock into place for easier handling.
- Includes a durable storage case.
Cons
- The 2-ton puller has a limited maximum spread of 3-1/4 inches.
- May require significant force for very stubborn or seized components.
- Specific applications may necessitate specialized puller types not included.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, select the appropriate puller (2-ton or 5-ton) based on the component size and expected resistance. Attach the desired number of legs (two or three) by aligning them with the indexing slots on the puller body. For internal pulling, reverse the jaws by removing the locking pins and rotating the jaw ends. Position the puller's center screw against the component's center, and then use the ratcheting mechanism to tighten the jaws securely. Rotate the handle to apply pulling force.
Compatibility: This set is designed for standard press-fit components like gears, pulleys, and bearings. Ensure the component has a surface or lip for the jaws to grip externally, or internal access for internal pulling. Maximum spread for the 2-ton is 3-1/4 inches, and for the 5-ton is 5 inches. Always ensure the tool's capacity is not exceeded.
Care: After use, clean the puller components with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris. Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, especially on the screw threads and jaw edges. Store the set in its original blow-mold case to protect the tools from damage and keep them organized. Inspect jaws and screw threads periodically for wear or damage.
