Pulley puller AWTools AW18993, 1 kg weight, manual removal tool for pulleys

AWTools AW18993 pulley puller is a manual extraction tool designed for removing pulleys, gears, bearings, discs and press-fit rings in automotive repair, light industrial maintenance and general machinery servicing. Manufactured from drop-forged tool steel that is hardened and tempered, this 1 kg tool offers a compact, robust solution for mechanical removal tasks where controlled axial force is required.

Advantages

The puller features a central screw with a hex head suitable for use with a ratchet wrench and a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. Satin-plated arms reduce slippage during operation, while the sliding arm design allows easy adjustment of arm spacing to suit different component diameters. Reversible arms enable both inside and outside grips for versatile use on a variety of parts. The overall construction provides reliable clamping force and repeatable performance in workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Removing pulleys and belts in automotive repair
• Extracting gears and bearings from shafts
• Removing discs, rings and press-fit components from machinery
• Light industrial maintenance and equipment servicing

Key specifications

• Material: drop-forged tool steel, hardened and tempered
• Net weight: 1 kg
• Central screw: hex head compatible with ratchet wrench, black oxide finish
• Arms: satin-plated, sliding and reversible for inside/outside grip
• Design: manual two- or three-jaw style extraction for axial removal tasks

How to use

Select the appropriate arm configuration for an inside or outside grip and adjust the sliding arms to match the component diameter. Position the arms evenly around the part to ensure a centered grip. Thread the central screw until it contacts the shaft or extraction point, then turn the hex head with a ratchet wrench to apply steady axial force until the component is released. Maintain even pressure and inspect the tool setup periodically during extraction to avoid slippage or uneven loading.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, support the workpiece securely before applying extraction force and avoid sudden impacts. For seized or corroded parts, apply penetrating lubricant and work gradually. Do not exceed the tool’s intended manual capacity; if excessive force is required, consider using a hydraulic puller or professional assistance.
