TIPS on how to use gear pullers to remove pulleys and bearings

If you’re going to be building or converting anything using the gear puller is an absolute necessity. I have a whole box of different sizes shapes and flavors. In the video I go through some of the things I’ve learned through the years.
Here an Amazon link to one like mine:
3-jaw gear puller: amzn.to/3bDdziX

We are bearing puller manufacturer in China and focus on export wholesale. I think this video is very good! It teach many people how to use bearing puller. 👍👍

Shouldn't you shift the bolt/nut on jaw to another holes nearer the job?

[@mutantbaby1672]

What size puller should I get for a 7" pulley?

[@shanh9961]

You lost me when you grabbed your pliers to turn a nut.

[@livefree6878]

I can understand that.

Is there any big advantage of expensive bearing pullers over say the $20 set of three Harbor Freight ones? There are pullers that cost ~10x as much and it's not clear what their benefits are.

[@ScottieFredWettstein]

I have a bearing puller that is rated for several thousand lbs and I use an impact gun on it. If you have something truely stuck then a $20 set of three is not going to hold up to a 5' cheater bar or impact gun like an $80 rated puller will. The threads will likely fail on the puller for a cheap one.

[@perspectivex]

@@ScottieFredWettstein thank for the reply. I wonder if more expensive pullers also seat themselves more easily. Getting the three legs of cheap ones I got to stay put while I tighten the central rod is really a Sisyphean task.

[@adamcolbertmusic]

​@@perspectivexI know this a year later but... I just ordered a cheap set, but I only need it to get the clutch off of a 49cc 5/8" shaft, nothing automotive or industrial.
But here's a tip: use a torch on the pulley (or gear or clutch or whatever) where it meets the shaft to make it expand like whenever you run hot water over a stuck jar lid so that you can open it more easily. If the two parts - pulley and shaft - are rusted and therefore fused together, the torch will help break that bond as well. You can also try to drip some Liquid Wrench in there.
An idea to keep the jaws held in place is use a large enough rubber band or even wrap some kind of stretchy tape such as electrical tape.
I just wanted to share for anyone else who came across this.

[@perspectivex]

@@adamcolbertmusic thanks for the reply. I don't remember my exact problem but I think it was just the jaws always falling off, not that the bearing was stuck. I vaguely remember I tried a rubber band and it didn't help that much but I'm not sure anymore.

[@ralphporter6006]

Wow, you make sure you lube the threads but then you use "pliers" to turn it .. LMAO .. Nice catch (Shan H)

[@noneck3099]

....have 3 hands...got it....that would be handy for a lot of stuff actually...

[@danielmacias13]

is any grease ok?

[@livefree6878]

Any grease is fine. It’s best if you use the same grease each time. There’s a few combinations of grease that react adversely if you mix them. If you’re concerned about mixing grease just wipe off the old stuff and put on anything new. Hope this answers your question

[@zackarymeinert2727]

Having a hard time with a pulley, looking for some tips. Otherwise a nice informative video.

[@joshthompson1755]

What grease did you use on your threads?

[@Steve-mw1hf]

red grease

[@itznoah231]

@@Steve-mw1hf you are correct

[@slybunda]

@@Steve-mw1hf is that red rubber grease?

Why don't you show one where it's difficult to take it off and you need to puller

[@_DML_]

Shearing off bolts on the puller? That's some serious pullage.

[@gorilladeathtoem]

Just Google 3 jaw puller. People are so lazy..... The guy already took the time to demonstrate the tool as well as tips and tricks for easy operation. If you can't research the tool you need for the job you definitely shouldn't be doing the job the tool is needed for. Smh. FML.

[@autofctrl]

Why the hell would anyone in the world use pliers and purposefully scratch and mark its puller..? Does not make any sense....

[@sayanth8416]

[@cntrlscrutinizer5374]

Way to booger up grandpas puller with the pliers.

[@MrPatvee]

why dont you just use two hammers? one guy whacks the one side and the other guy whacks the other side. all at the same time. do THAT video.

[@PetePiper]

Why don't YOU do that video yourself?
