Product Description
The OTC 7496A Rear Axle Bearing Puller is a professional-grade tool engineered for auto mechanics and shops removing semi-floating rear axle bearings on passenger cars and light trucks. Redesigned with a collet-style grip that firmly captures the bearing, distributing pulling force evenly to minimize damage and expand applications. Fits bearings with minimum tube I.D. of 1-5/16" and maximum axle tube I.D. of 2-3/8", including many domestic models like Chevrolet and GMC. Requires a slide hammer (compatible with OTC 1155, 1156, or similar 5/8"-18 threaded models) for effective extraction. Rugged steel construction ensures reliable performance in demanding repair environments, making stubborn bearing removal faster and safer.
