Puller with sliding jaws Yato YT-2518

The Yato YT-2518 puller with sliding jaws is a compact extraction tool designed for removing gears, bearings and pulleys. Measuring 20.3 cm (8 inches) in overall length and rated for up to 9 tonnes of pressure, this puller combines a sliding-jaw configuration with a robust central forcing screw to deliver stable, controlled extraction in confined or awkward workspaces. Its construction is intended to resist the stresses of repeated mechanical use and to provide reliable grip on a range of components used in automotive and general mechanical maintenance.

Advantages

The sliding jaws allow quick positioning around different diameters and provide an even distribution of force, reducing the risk of component damage. A high-capacity forcing screw transmits up to 9 tonnes of pressure for efficient separation of tightly fitted parts. Compact dimensions make the tool suitable for cramped engine bays and workshop environments while durable materials and a solid design support repeated professional and DIY use.

Suitable for

• Removing gears from shafts in automotive repair
• Extracting bearings from housings or hubs
• Pulling off pulleys, sprockets and similar press-fitted parts
• Maintenance tasks in tight engine compartments or machinery

Key specifications

• Overall length: 20.3 cm (8 inches)
• Maximum pulling force: 9 tonnes
• Sliding-jaw design for adjustable grip
• Central forcing screw for axial pressure application
• Suitable for use on gears, bearings, pulleys and similar components

How to use

Select the position of the sliding jaws so they sit securely behind the component to be removed. Ensure the jaws have even contact and the puller is centered on the shaft or hub. Turn the forcing screw gradually and evenly to apply axial pressure until the component moves free. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the tool while operating and support any heavy parts once separated to avoid sudden drops.

Usage recommendations

Before use, inspect the jaws and screw for wear or damage and lightly lubricate the forcing screw for smooth operation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and, for tightly seized parts, apply small incremental turns to the forcing screw rather than sudden force. When working on corrosion-bound components, consider penetrating fluid and gentle heating of the surrounding area where safe and appropriate.
