Product Information
Full details
The BFO 2 Jaw Gear Puller (MPN: 5oHDdB) is an essential tool for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who frequently perform maintenance involving tight-fitted components. Its primary benefit is the ability to exert controlled pressure to remove stubborn gears and bearings without causing damage to surrounding machinery. While highly effective for a wide range of tasks, users should note that its two-jaw design is best suited for components with accessible edges, which may not be compatible with all recessed or specialized pulley systems.

FAQs
What is the maximum width this tool can handle?
This puller is designed for a maximum width and reach of 150mm.
Can this be used for internal bearing removal?
This tool is designed for external pulling applications where the claws can grip the outer edge of the component.
How do I prevent the puller from scratching my parts?
You can place a small brass shim or a thick rag between the center bolt tip and the shaft to prevent marring.
Is this tool suitable for home garage use?
Yes, it is excellent for DIY automotive projects, though it should be used with standard safety gear such as gloves and eye protection.
What should I do if the gear still won't move?
Do not use excessive force or extensions on the handle. Re-evaluate the setup, apply more penetrating oil, or consider using a professional-grade heat gun to expand the gear slightly.
Troubleshooting
The puller slips off the gear during application.
Ensure the claws are seated deeper behind the component and check that the center bolt is perfectly aligned with the center of the shaft.
High resistance making the bolt difficult to turn.
Apply penetrating oil to the gear or bearing and wait several minutes; do not force the bolt beyond the tool's rated capacity.
Center bolt is binding.
Clean the threads of any debris and re-lubricate the bolt with heavy-duty grease.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sturdy construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding workshops.
- Dual-jaw design provides excellent leverage for stuck components.
- Sufficient reach allows for work on deep-seated gears.
- Simple, intuitive mechanism for quick setup.
Cons
- Two-jaw configuration requires enough clearance for both claws to seat properly.
- Not suitable for extremely large industrial machinery over 150mm.
- Lacks the additional support of a three-jaw system for off-center loads.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure the claws are fully engaged behind the gear or bearing you intend to remove. Always check that the center bolt tip is properly centered on the shaft to prevent slipping.
Compatibility: This 150mm unit is compatible with most standard gears, bearings, and pulleys found in general automotive and small machinery maintenance.
Care: To keep your tool in peak condition, apply a small amount of machine grease to the threads of the center bolt before each use. This reduces friction and extends the life of the tool. Store in a dry, rust-free environment and inspect the claws periodically for signs of stress or deformation.
