Orion Motor Tech rear axle bearing puller set — 3-piece slide-hammer-compatible kit (Blackened 45# Steel) with protective washers

Orion Motor Tech's 3-piece rear axle bearing puller set is a slide-hammer-compatible tool kit engineered to remove semi-floating rear axle bearings cleanly and without claw damage.

If you service rear axle bearings on cars, vans, or light trucks, this kit gives you a reliable, compact way to extract worn bearings using a 5/8" slide hammer. Each puller is sized to fit a range of inner diameters and includes rotary connectors and protective washers so you can reach bearings in tight spaces while protecting housings from gouging. The set ships in a molded case with laser-etched sizing for quick identification and long-term organization.

How does this puller set work with a slide hammer?

The three pullers attach to any standard 5/8" slide hammer through their rotary connector, letting you apply axial impact force to the bearing without claw contact. Impact pulls the inner race and bearing assembly straight out, minimizing misalignment and the risk of casing damage.

• Compatible with 5/8" slide hammers via rotary connectors
• Washers transfer force evenly to avoid localized stress
• Rotary connectors improve access in cramped wheelhouses

Which bearing sizes does each puller cover?

The set includes three differently sized pullers to cover most domestic semi-floating rear axle bearings. Each tool spans a defined inner-diameter range so you can match the proper puller to the bearing for a secure grip before pulling.

• Small: fits inner diameters from 1-1/4" to 1-7/8"
• Medium: fits 1-5/16" to 2-3/8" inner diameters
• Large: fits 1-3/8" to 2-7/8" inner diameters

Will these pullers protect bearings and axle housings?

Yes — the pullers use washers that spread the slide-hammer force across a wider surface, significantly reducing the gouging and deformation that claw-style pullers can cause. That makes them suitable when you need to preserve the axle housing or avoid added machining during reassembly.

• Even force distribution prevents edge chipping and casing damage
• Scratch-free withdrawal helps maintain bearing seating surfaces
• Better fit reduces the chance of slippage during impact pulls

How durable and portable is the kit?

Each puller is machined from 45# structural steel, blackened for corrosion resistance, and paired with galvanized nuts to withstand workshop environments. The molded carry case with laser-etched labels keeps tools organized and ready for mobile or in-shop use.

• 45# structural steel construction for strength and longevity
• Blackened finish and galvanized hardware resist rust
• Custom carry case with laser-etched markings for fast selection

Who this is for: professional mechanics, mobile technicians, and experienced DIYers who remove semi-floating rear axle bearings on domestic vehicles will benefit most from this Orion Motor Tech set. It’s ideal when you need a compact, reliable slide-hammer solution that minimizes housing damage, covers a wide range of bearing inner diameters, and stays organized between jobs.
