  • Services heavy duty applications.
  • Knife-like edges minimize damage to parts.
• Application Notes:
  • Use with a regular gear puller, or by itself where wedging action is needed.
  • Remove nuts from bolts and separate the two halves of the splitter.
  • Reassemble the splitter so the sharp edges are placed behind the bearing or gear being pulled, then tighten the nuts. In some cases, the wedging action alone is enough to release the bearing or gear.
  • Attach a puller so the jaws are securely attached to the back of the splitter, then use the pulling action of the puller until the bearing or gear has been released.
