Troubleshooting

Puller does not grip the component securely.

Ensure the correct size impact nut is selected and properly threaded onto the puller body. Verify that the puller jaws are centered and firmly seated around the component.

Ball joint or drive shaft does not break free.

Confirm that the air impact hammer is functioning correctly and delivering sufficient force. Re-position the puller and try again. For extremely seized components, applying a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak may help. Ensure the correct thread size is being used.

Air hammer not engaging with the taper punch.

Check that the taper punch is properly inserted into the air hammer's chuck. Ensure the air hammer is receiving adequate air pressure and is functioning as expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
