Class 8 Truck Yoke Puller Kit for Spicer 1610-1810 Series

A yoke that has been on a Class 6-8 truck for a few hundred thousand miles does not come off the spline by hand, and beating on it with a hammer is how you crack an ear or score a bearing journal. This puller clamps behind the yoke ears and pushes against the shaft end with a forcing screw, so the yoke walks straight off the spline under steady load.

The jaws fit yokes with bearing cap diameters from 1-7/8 in. to 2-3/16 in. That covers Spicer and Meritor 1610, 1710, 1760 and 1810 series, Spicer SPL 140, 170 and 250 series, and Meritor/Rockwell RPL 20 and 25 series. Use it on transmission output yokes and drive axle pinion yokes on Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Mack, Volvo and similar heavy equipment.

On the truck: pull the driveshaft, remove the yoke nut or retaining bolts, bolt the two cradle blocks to the yoke ears with the supplied cap screws (two lengths are included for different yoke styles), slide the bridge over the cradle studs and run the forcing screw down against the shaft center. Tighten the screw with a wrench or impact on low and the yoke comes off square. This tool is for removal only; seat the new yoke with a proper installer.

The body and screw are 45 steel with black oxide. Kit ships in a fitted plastic case with the bridge, forcing screw, two cradle blocks, eight black and four zinc cap screws, gloves and instructions.
