How do you measure a bearing puller?
How do you measure a bearing puller?
Bearing pullers are measured according to their reach. The puller’s reach is the available distance between the pulling surface of the legs and the head of the legs. When the legs are opened, the distance increases and decreases. Bearing pullers come in sizes of 75mm (2.9″), 100mm (3.9″), 150mm (5.9″) and 200mm (7.8″).
Where would you use a jaw type puller?
3-Jaw Puller You can use them to remove gears, pulleys, wheel hubs, all kinds of hard to remove parts. They come in several sizes and are inexpensive. Every garage should have three sizes of 3-jaw pullers in the drawer.
What is a hub puller?
The wheel hub puller is a set of tools used to remove the wheel hub from the axle without damaging the hub. It consists of a yoke or adapter, a pressure screw, a slide hammer, and lug nuts.
What can I use to pull bearings out of carrier?
Carrier bearings can be pulled using a bearing puller. Internal parts (inside the carrier) can be moved as necessary. Inspect all bearings and races for pitting or uneven wear. The inner carrier bearing races should not spin on the carrier journals.
How do you get pinion bearings out of a differential?
Knock the pinion gear out to the rear with a brass punch taking care not to damage the threads. Keep track of the positions of all of the original shims. Pinion bearings must be pressed off. Carrier bearings can be pulled using a bearing puller. Internal parts (inside the carrier) can be moved as necessary.
How is carrier preload established on differential bearings?
Carrier bearing preload is established by the tightness of the shims. The carrier should be shimmed tight enough that it must be tapped in with a plastic dead blow hammer. While holding the races on the bearings (and outside shims on the races) start the carrier into the housing and tap it in with the hammer.
Do you have to have a snug bore for carrier journals?
The inner carrier bearing races should not spin on the carrier journals. The carrier races should have a snug fit in the housing. Inspect the carrier race bores for grooves from spinning races. “Spun” carriers and housings can be machined to accept slightly larger races and bearings.
