OEMTOOLS 5" Timing Gear & Pulley Puller 25258 — 5" Yoke, Hardened Steel For Crankshaft Gears

The OEMTOOLS 25258 is a 5‑inch steel timing gear and pulley puller designed to safely extract crankshaft gears, pulleys, and tapped‑hole timing gears.

This compact, heavy‑duty puller uses a 5" yoke and two long 5/16" x 18 bolts plus a central forcing screw to remove stubborn components without damaging shafts or gears. Built from hardened steel with a slim profile for easy storage, it’s intended for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need a reliable removal tool for engines and other machinery with tapped gear holes.

How does the OEMTOOLS 25258 remove gears without harming the shaft?

The puller transfers even force from the center pushing screw to the gear via the yoke and threaded bolts, so the gear separates uniformly from the shaft. Centering and lubrication of the screw reduce friction and the chance of slipping or galling during removal.

• 5" yoke keeps the tool aligned with shaft center.
• Central forcing screw provides controlled, axial pressure.
• Threaded 5/16 x 18 x 6" bolts engage tapped gear holes securely.
• Lubricate screw before use to minimize wear and maximize control.

What kinds of gears and pulleys can I service with this tool?

This puller is made to handle crankshaft gears, timing gears and a wide range of pulleys that have tapped holes for the included bolts. It works best on components sized and configured for a 5" yoke reach and where tapped holes accept the 5/16" bolts.

• Crankshaft timing gears with tapped mounting holes.
• Small to medium engine pulleys that accept 5/16" hardware.
• Timing gears in many domestic and light commercial engines.
• Other mechanically tapped components needing axial extraction.

How do I use the puller safely and effectively?

Preparation and steady, controlled turns of the forcing screw are key. Place the yoke over the gear, thread both pulling bolts into the gear’s tapped holes, center the push screw on the shaft end, lubricate the screw, and tighten slowly until the part releases.

• Inspect tapped holes and threads before installation.
• Apply light oil to the forcing screw for smooth operation.
• Tighten alternately and slowly to keep even pressure on the gear.
• Stop and reassess if the gear resists or the tool shifts.

What are the construction and warranty details?

The puller is constructed from durable steel designed for repeated workshop use and features OEMTOOLS engraving for quick identification. OEMTOOLS backs the product with a Limited Lifetime warranty covering typical everyday use—consult the manual for exclusions and claim procedures.

• Sturdy steel body and yoke for long service life.
• Includes two 5/16 x 18 x 6" bolts to fit tapped holes.
• Compact and slim for easy storage in toolboxes or cabinets.
• Limited Lifetime warranty; see included documentation for terms.

Who is this for: The OEMTOOLS 25258 is ideal for professional auto technicians, engine rebuilders, and serious home mechanics who frequently remove timing gears, crankshaft pulleys, or other tapped‑hole components. If you need a compact, dependable puller that provides controlled extraction with a 5" reach and durable steel construction, this tool fits into any garage or shop where reliability and precise removal matter.
