It works with a 1\" drive impact wrench or smaller, handles bearing cup outer diameters from 1.5\" to 2.2\", and eliminates the need for hammering or heat—preserving the integrity of the driveshaft, yokes, and joints during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the OEMTOOLS puller protect driveline components during removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe puller applies controlled, axial force through a forcing screw to press bearing cups out evenly without distorting yokes or the driveshaft. Because it uses a guided press action rather than blunt force, the risk of scoring, bending, or cracking nearby components is greatly reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGuided forcing-screw design for uniform pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoves cups without hammering or heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrevents yoke and driveshaft damage by controlled extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat truck sizes and bearing cup dimensions does it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is sized for heavy-duty Class 7 and Class 8 trucks and suits a broad range of bearing cup ODs commonly found on those vehicles.
