Q: What puller do I need?

A: If you’re pulling something off a shaft, you can use a jaw-type, push-puller, slide hammer or bearing puller with attachment. This includes removing a gear, bearing, wheel or pulley. If your job includes pulling something out of a hole, look for internal pulling attachments coupled with a slide hammer or a push-puller. When you need to pull a shaft out of something, look for threaded adapters, internal or external, for use with slide hammers or a push-puller.
