FAQs
What material is the KATSU Tools Two Jaw Gear Bearing Puller made of?
It is constructed from hardened forged carbon steel, known for its high strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
What is the benefit of the bilateral rotation design?
The bilateral rotation allows for greater flexibility and extended reach, making it easier to work in confined or recessed areas.
How do I adjust the puller for different sized gears or bearings?
You can adjust the clamping depth by sliding the jaws along the puller arms and then securing them with the hexagonal allen screws.
Is this puller suitable for automotive flywheels?
Yes, it is ideal for removing automotive flywheels, as well as motorcycle wheels, bicycle wheels, and various types of bearings.
How should I maintain the puller?
Clean the puller after each use and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Store it in a dry environment.
What should I do if the jaws don't grip the component securely?
Make sure the allen screws are tightened firmly. Clean the component's edge and adjust the jaw positioning for a better hold.
Troubleshooting
Jaws slipping on the component.
Ensure the allen screws are fully tightened to lock the jaws. Check if the component edge is clean and free of grease. Adjust the clamping depth for a more secure grip on a wider surface area.
Difficulty applying enough pulling force.
Verify that the puller is centered correctly on the shaft. Ensure the jaws are gripping the component firmly. For very stubborn parts, consider applying a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak in before attempting removal again.
Puller does not fit the component.
Check the size of the component and compare it to the adjustable range of the puller's jaws. Ensure you are attempting to pull from a suitable edge, not a smooth surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Position the two jaws around the component to be pulled (e.g., gear, bearing, flywheel).
- Adjust the clamping depth by sliding the jaws along the arms to ensure a secure grip on the component's edge.
- Tighten the hexagonal allen screws on each arm to lock the jaws in place.
- Center the puller's central screw on the shaft or hub of the component.
