Orion Motor Tech Rear Axle Bearing Puller Kit — 8-Piece Slide Hammer Set, 5/8" Hammer & 3 Adapters

This heavy-duty kit combines a 5/8" slide hammer, T-handle, 4-point yoke, locknut, hook, and three bearing adapters sized for semi-floating rear axle jobs. Built from medium carbon steel with protective finishes, the set is made for repeated garage and shop use where controlled impact extraction is needed. The components connect quickly so you can switch between axle, bearing, and seal pulling tasks without searching for extra tools.

How does this kit make axle and bearing removal easier?

The slide hammer delivers controlled impact force to dislodge stubborn components without excessive leverage on surrounding parts. The 4-point yoke and locknut let you attach to flanges and threaded holes, turning the hammer into an axle puller for stud axles and spur gears.

• 5/8" slide hammer provides measurable impact force.
• 4-point yoke secures to flange-type axles for straight pulls.
• Locknut keeps adapters tight during repeated strikes.
• Hook adapter pops seals and press-fit parts cleanly.

Which bearing sizes and jobs can this set handle?

Three removable bearing adapters cover a broad range of inner diameters so the kit works on many semi-floating rear axle bearings. The adapters thread onto the hammer assembly and are sized to engage bearing inner races for safe removal.

• Small adapter: fits 1-1/4" to 1-7/8" inner diameters.
• Medium adapter: fits 1-5/16" to 2-3/8" inner diameters.
• Large adapter: fits 1-3/8" to 2-7/8" inner diameters.
• Adapters give a secure grip on inner races to reduce slippage.

What materials and finishes are used for durability?

The kit is constructed from AISI 1045 medium carbon steel to balance toughness and wear resistance for repeated shop use. Protective finishes on individual parts help resist corrosion and maintain fit during seasonal storage or high-frequency work.

• Hammer is chrome-plated for smooth sliding and rust protection.
• Yoke is galvanized to resist corrosion on the contact surfaces.
• Adapters are blackened for added surface durability.
• Heat-treated components designed to withstand impact stress.

How do you use the set safely and effectively?

Set up the correct adapter or yoke for the part to be removed, tighten the locknut, and apply firm, controlled strikes with the T-handle slide hammer. Work progressively and inspect surrounding fasteners and seals to avoid collateral damage during extraction.

• Select the adapter that matches the part's inner diameter or flange.
• Hand-tighten the locknut then seat the yoke or hook firmly.
• Use steady, measured slides—avoid uncontrolled swinging.
• Wear eye protection and gloves; support the vehicle securely.
