OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set — 5 lb Slide Hammer, 9 Attachments, Chrome Case

The OTC 4579 is a 9-way chrome-plated slide hammer puller kit featuring a 5 lb hammer and multiple attachments for removing hubs, bearings, seals, axles and dents.

This professional-grade puller set combines a heavy 5 lb slide hammer with internal and external jaws, cone and cross-block adapters, a grip wrench adapter and a dent puller—organized in a blow-molded case. Built to work with most flange-type rear axles and many front-wheel-drive hubs, the OTC 4579 provides the attachments and thread compatibility needed for a wide range of automotive and sheet-metal extraction tasks.

How does this puller kit help on common hub and axle jobs?

The set includes specialized pieces to address typical removal challenges: the front hub and rear axle pullers attach directly to components, while internal/external jaws adapt to different diameters. The 5 lb slide hammer delivers controlled impact force, letting you dislodge stubborn hubs, bearings or seals without improvisation.

• Front hub puller designed for most front-wheel-drive hubs
• Rear axle puller fits flange-type rear axles
• Internal and external jaws for bearings, gears and seals
• 5 lb slide hammer supplies repeatable pulling force

What attachments are included and when should I use each?

The kit contains nine attachments to cover varied removal tasks: a two-way cross block and three-way cone for flexible jaw setups; three reversible puller jaws for internal or external use; a grip wrench adapter for stubborn fasteners; a dent puller for sheet metal; and a puller hook. Each attachment expands the slide hammer’s capability for specific components and clearance conditions.

• 2-way cross block and 3-way cone to tailor jaw alignment
• Three reversible jaws allow internal or external gripping
• Grip wrench adapter for damaged nut or bolt extraction
• Dent puller and puller hook for sheet-metal or awkward pulls

Will this set work with other slide-hammer accessories I already own?

The OTC 4579 uses a standard 5/8"-18 threaded connection, so it accepts most OTC slide-hammer attachments with the same thread size. That makes it easy to expand the kit with additional specialty tools or to use compatible attachments you already own for unique shop tasks.

• Standard 5/8"-18 thread for broad accessory compatibility
• Designed to pair with other OTC slide hammer attachments
• Threaded components allow quick changes during a job
• Chrome-plated hardware resists corrosion for longer life

How is the set stored and transported between jobs?

All components come organized in a blow-molded hard case sized to protect each piece and keep the set transport-ready. The case minimizes lost parts and speeds job setup so technicians move from vehicle to vehicle with everything in place.

• Blow-molded hard case with custom cavities for each tool
• Compact layout for easy storage in a service bay or truck
• Durable case material protects chrome-plated tools
• Kit form reduces time spent searching for the right adapter
