Professional hydraulic gear puller set for commercial or individual home use. This 15-ton hydrauli...Professional hydraulic gear puller set for commercial or individual home use. This 15-ton hydraulic puller is suitable for gears, pulleys, and bearings. It can be used with either 2 or 3 jaws and will efficiently remove stubborn parts. The hand-operated pump applies pulling pressure, and a side-mounted valve releases it. It can be used vertically or horizontally and is suitable for internal or external applications. Forged steel yoke and arms ensure maximum strength and durability. It covers a maximum spread (reach) of 12 inches (300mm) and a maximum reach of up to 7.2 inches (180mm). Suitable for pulling, splitting hubs, flanges, gears, and bearings. Comes in a blow-molded case for easy storage and transportation. Specifications: Hydraulic puller, suitable for Gears, Pulleys & Bearings, Hand operated pump, Side mounted return valve, Maximum capacity – 15 Ton, 2 or 3 legged operation, Internal or external, Maximum spread – 12 Inches (300mm), Maximum reach – 7.2 inches (180mm), Axis travel – 50mm, For vertical or horizontal use, Material – forged steel, Blow molded case, Full set of instructions.
This AB Tools 15-ton hydraulic gear puller is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to remove stubborn gears, pulleys, and bearings. Its primary benefit is the powerful, hand-operated hydraulic system that applies significant pulling pressure with ease, reducing physical strain. A key consideration is that it requires sufficient clearance for the jaws to grip the component being removed. The tool offers versatile 2 or 3-jaw configurations, internal/external applications, and can be used vertically or horizontally, all constructed from durable forged steel for longevity.

FAQs
What types of components can this puller be used on?
This puller is designed for gears, pulleys, bearings, and flanges that have accessible edges for the jaws to grip.
Can I use this puller for both internal and external pulling tasks?
Yes, the design allows for both internal and external applications, making it very versatile.
What is the maximum size of a component this puller can handle?
The puller has a maximum spread (outer reach) of 12 inches (300mm) and a maximum reach (depth) of 7.2 inches (180mm).
Does the puller require any external power source?
No, it features a hand-operated pump, meaning it does not require electricity or compressed air to operate.
How do I ensure the puller is durable?
The puller is constructed from forged steel for maximum strength and durability. Regular cleaning and proper storage in its case will further enhance its lifespan.
What is the purpose of the side-mounted valve?
The side-mounted valve is used to safely and slowly release the hydraulic pressure after the component has been successfully pulled.
Is this puller suitable for professional mechanics and home users?
Yes, its robust construction and 15-ton capacity make it suitable for professional commercial use, while its ease of operation also benefits individual home users.
Troubleshooting
Puller not applying sufficient pressure
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the return valve is fully closed. Inspect seals for leaks. If persistent, the hydraulic pump may require servicing.
Jaws slipping off the component
Ensure the jaws are positioned on a solid, accessible edge of the component. Use the 3-jaw configuration for better grip if possible. For extremely smooth or tapered surfaces, consider using a component designed for better grip or supplementary tools.
Center screw not engaging or moving
Verify the center screw is properly aligned with the shaft. Ensure the hydraulic system is functioning and applying pressure. Check that the component is not excessively seized, requiring more than 15 tons of force.
Difficulty operating the hand pump
Ensure the return valve is completely closed. Check for any internal blockages or air in the hydraulic system. The pump may require lubrication or servicing if resistance is excessive.
Puller feels unstable during operation
Ensure the puller is placed on a flat, stable surface. For horizontal use, secure the puller if necessary. Avoid sudden, jerky movements while pumping.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High 15-ton capacity handles tough jobs.
Versatile with 2 or 3 jaw options and internal/external use.
Durable forged steel construction ensures longevity.
Hand-operated pump provides controlled pressure.
Suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications.
Cons
Requires adequate clearance for jaw placement.
May be overkill for very light-duty tasks.
Hydraulic fluid maintenance is necessary over time.
Can be heavy to maneuver in tight spaces.
Manual operation may take longer than powered alternatives for repetitive tasks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the puller is on a stable, level surface for vertical use or securely positioned for horizontal use.
Select the appropriate number of jaws (2 or 3) based on the component and its accessibility.
Attach the jaws to the puller yoke, ensuring they are firmly secured.
Position the jaws to grip the component (gear, pulley, or bearing) securely.
Align the center screw of the puller with the shaft or center of the component.
Slowly operate the hand pump to apply hydraulic pressure, tightening the jaws onto the component and advancing the center screw.
Monitor the pressure and the component's movement. Continue pumping until the component is free.
Once removed, use the side-mounted return valve to slowly release the hydraulic pressure.
Compatibility:
Suitable for components with accessible edges for jaw grip, such as gears, pulleys, flanges, and bearings.
Maximum spread (outer reach of jaws) is 12 inches (300mm).
Maximum reach (depth the center screw can extend) is 7.2 inches (180mm).
Axis travel (how far the center screw can push) is 50mm.
Care:
Keep the puller clean and dry when not in use.
Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary (refer to specific hydraulic fluid type recommendations if available).
Inspect jaws and yoke for wear or damage before each use. Replace worn parts as needed.
Store the puller in its provided blow-molded case to protect it from dust and impact.
