FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of this puller?
The hydraulic ram has a capacity of 10 tons, which is equivalent to approximately 20,000 pounds of force.
Can this puller be used on small delicate parts?
While versatile, this puller is designed for high-force applications. For very small or delicate parts, manual pullers or specialized tools might be more appropriate to avoid damage.
How do I switch between a 2-leg and 3-leg puller?
The set includes a twin head for 2-leg configurations and a triple head for 3-leg configurations. Simply attach the desired legs to the corresponding head.
What types of components can this puller be used on?
It is suitable for pulling gears, hubs, pulleys, flanges, and bearings in both internal and external applications.
How should I maintain the hydraulic ram?
Keep the ram clean and store it properly. Periodically check the fluid level and condition. If the ram feels spongy or loses pressure, it may require bleeding air from the hydraulic system.
Are replacement parts available?
Specific replacement parts like individual legs or bolts may need to be sourced directly from the manufacturer or specialized tool suppliers if lost or damaged.
What is included in the 25-piece set?
The set includes a 10-ton hydraulic ram, sets of 3 x 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm legs, a twin head, a triple head, extension rods, a main rod, a beam separator, bolts, and a ram nut, all housed in a blow molded case.
Troubleshooting
Hydraulic ram not applying pressure
Check that the release valve is fully closed. Ensure the ram is properly connected. If pressure is still low, the hydraulic system may need bleeding or servicing.
Legs slipping off the component
Ensure the legs are securely gripping the component. Use the correct leg length and configuration for the task. Try repositioning the puller for a firmer hold.
Difficulty turning the ram handle
Ensure the component is not seized beyond the ram's 10-ton capacity. Check for obstructions. Apply penetrating oil to the seized component and allow it to soak in before attempting to pull again.
Component not moving
Verify correct assembly and connection. Apply more force gradually. Consider using a penetrating lubricant on the seized area. Ensure the puller is centered on the component.

- Connect the 10-ton hydraulic ram to the head assembly. Ensure the ram is properly seated and secured.
- Use the Tommy bar to slowly operate the hydraulic ram, applying steady pressure.
- If using the beam separator, position it correctly around the component and connect the hydraulic ram.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for various automotive and industrial applications involving gears, hubs, pulleys, and bearings.
- Designed for components with accessible faces for grip or internal/external surfaces for the separator.
Care:
- After each use, clean all components with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
- Inspect legs, heads, and the hydraulic ram for any signs of damage or wear.
- Store all parts in the provided blow molded case to prevent loss and damage.
- Periodically check the hydraulic ram fluid level and condition; refer to hydraulic ram maintenance guides if necessary (e.g., bleeding air).
