OEMTOOLS 27059 Pilot Bearing Puller Attachment For Slide Hammer

Pilot bearing removal success. Engine 4.9 inline 6 cylinder is in a 1994 Ford F250, the pilot bearing needed to be replaced and this tool did the trick. However, you can see in the pics that the tool was too big to fit inside of the bearing with the rollers still intact. Look at the pic with the new bearing as a example. I beat the dickens out of the old bearing to remove the rollers and plucked out pieces with needle vice grips and screw drivers. Then I could get the Oemtool 27059 inside for a good bite into the grooves on the back side of what was left of the bearing. Using a 7.5 lb weight and a Reese 2" ball that has a 3/4 stud with 18 threads per inch all assembled gave me a mock slide hammer. 3- hits and the bearing came out. Good money spent.

I had a pilot bushing comfortably resting in its home for 31 years, it did not want to come out. I borrowed a tool from the local parts store, no joy. Tried the trick of packing bread in the cavity and pounding with a bolt; yes, that's really a thing. That didn't work either. After buying this tool, I installed it on my slide hammer and after 3 or 4 whacks, out it came. I couldn't be happier. Too bad I'll probably never use it again, but it was worth every penny. Note that the threaded bore of the tool has two different thread diameters, my slide hammer was the smaller diameter and so I had to insert the hammer shaft in far enough to find the threads. I didn't realize this at first and had a moment of panic. Reading the description on the product page explains this, fyi.

Good product, well made. The teeth of the puller are thick. So they may not fit into thin gaps. Such as the case with a Ford 400 pilot bearing (or Cleveland or Modified or Big Block). It removed the inner bearing section no problem but the sleeve "race" that gets pressed into the crank has thin removal ports that I'm sure Ford had a special tool for. I found a you tube video showing this tool being used to remove that pressed in part, but it did not work for me and went the hydraulic method which popped it quite easily. As in pack the cavity with grease find a socket the same diameter as the opening, reverse it, plug the 3/8 driver hole with an extension then tap the extension with a hammer, add more grease as needed. only with the cavity is completely full with the hydraulic principles work and push the part out. Works great but is messy.

If you already have a slide hammer this will most likely attach due to the two system thread pattern . This is a nice small puller for small ID bearings and seals in a blind hole that can't be pushed out from the back side. I used this to remove a double seal system in an outboard motor "lower unit bearing carrier". This 16 dollar tool will save you a hundred dollars worth of headaches removing just about anything from a blind hole. AAAAA++++++++++

Excellent-- and fits right on my slide hammer.

perfect tool, it is replaceing one we wore out! Very happy with the product and longevity

Worked well on my 1991 Jeep JK.

First off let me say, I know this tool is specified for pilot bearings and bushings, but it is almost identical to what is described in the GMC service manual as the tool to use for the axle shaft seal removal. This one is too small to grip the inner rim of the seal. Although someone mentioned the jaw opening is 1 5/8 inches, that is not the gripping width or working width. The tools max working width is actually about about a quarter inch less at 1 3/8 inches. I kept the tool anyway because I may need it on other vehicles I own. A typical slide hammer kit with a 2-way yoke and puller leg attachment will work (that's what I ended up using) or even a typical pry hook if you're feeling lucky. It looks like a good tool and really have no complaint other than the seller didn't post the working range of the item and I bought it based upon what i could gather from the reviews.

Spot on , like this a lot good tool

Awesome tool, attaches to pullers and slide hammers. Used to pull seals and bearings.

Se ve de buena calidad aunque no lo e utilizado aún se ve resistente, ideal para extraer rodamientos chicos y medianos, lo recomiendo

Hi have been recommended by your website to buy the other puller kits but that slide hammer won’t fit so how am I supposed to use the puller where is the adapter or otherwise please take it back

Excelente herramienta fácil de usar muy práctica y resistente para lo que está hecha
