Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.49L is a specialized precision slide hammer designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who need to extract small bearings with high accuracy. Its primary benefit is the ability to securely grip and remove bearings with internal diameters as small as 6.5mm without damaging the surrounding housing; however, users must note that it requires the additional purchase of U.49P1 to U.49P4 low spread clamps to function correctly.

FAQs
Does this puller come with the necessary clamps?
No, the Facom U.49L slide hammer requires the U.49P1 to U.49P4 series clamps, which must be purchased separately.
What is the maximum bearing size this tool can handle?
The U.49L is designed for bearings with an inner diameter ranging from 6.5mm to 18mm.
Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial wheel bearings?
No, this is a precision tool for small-diameter bearings. It is not intended for high-torque or large-scale automotive wheel bearing extractions.
How do I ensure the tool does not damage the housing?
Ensure you are using the correct clamp size and that the pull is performed perfectly vertical, avoiding any sideways leverage.
Can I replace the slide weight?
The U.49L is factory-calibrated. Please contact your local Facom distributor for information regarding authorized service and replacement parts.
Troubleshooting
Clamp slips out of bearing during use
Ensure the internal spread clamp is fully expanded and properly seated within the bearing raceway before sliding the weight.
Slide weight feels sluggish or gritty
Clean the central shaft with a lint-free cloth and apply a very thin layer of high-quality lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, screw the appropriate U.49P series clamp onto the U.49L slide hammer shaft. Ensure the thread is fully seated to prevent play during operation. The tool is compatible with bearings ranging from 6.5mm to 18mm inner diameter. For care, wipe the shaft down with a light machine oil after use to prevent oxidation. Keep the slide hammer mechanism free of grit and debris to maintain smooth operation, and store in a clean, dry location to preserve the precision finish.
