Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.302 3-legged self-gripping slim leg puller is an essential tool for mechanical engineers and automotive technicians who need a reliable solution for extracting gears and bearings in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is the self-gripping, self-centering mechanism that allows for one-handed operation and precise alignment during extraction, though users should note its limited spread capacity of 6-80mm, which restricts its use to smaller components.

FAQs
What is the maximum spread of the Facom U.302?
The puller has a maximum spread capacity of 80mm.
Can this be used for internal pulling?
No, the U.302 is specifically designed for external pulling operations.
Is the U.302 suitable for heavy-duty truck bearings?
No, its 80mm capacity is intended for light-to-medium mechanical components, not large-scale heavy-duty truck bearings.
Do I need special training to use this tool?
While simple to operate, standard mechanical safety protocols should be followed, including wearing safety glasses during extraction.
How do I ensure the puller is centered?
The U.302 is designed with an integrated self-centering mechanism that aligns the puller automatically as tension is applied.
Troubleshooting
Puller legs slipping off the component
Ensure the legs are positioned as deep as possible behind the bearing race and verify the component size is within the 6-80mm limit.
Center spindle is difficult to turn
Clean the threads and apply a small amount of heavy-duty grease or lubricating oil to the spindle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precise self-centering prevents mechanical damage
- Compact slim legs allow for use in tight housings
- One-handed operation increases efficiency
- High-quality robust construction typical of Facom tools
Cons
- Maximum 80mm spread limits application to smaller parts
- Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial size bearings
- Higher price point compared to generic non-self-centering pullers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the U.302, ensure the legs are fully retracted before placing them around the component. The mechanism is designed to automatically tighten its grip as you begin to turn the center screw.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with shafts that provide enough clearance for the slim leg hooks to grab the back of the component. Always ensure the puller is within its 6-80mm spread range.
Care: Keep the central spindle threads clean and lightly lubricated with machine oil to prevent binding. Regularly inspect the leg tips for signs of wear. Store in a clean, dry toolbox to prevent surface oxidation of the metal components.
