OTC 4579 9-Way Slide Hammer Puller Set, 5 lb Chrome Hammer with Blow-Molded Case

When a front-wheel-drive hub is rusted into the knuckle or a rear axle will not let go of its bearing, this is the tool that ends the fight. The OTC 4579 puts a 5 pound chrome-plated slide hammer behind a full set of pulling attachments, so instead of prying, torching, and hoping, you thread on the right jaw and drive the part straight out. Guys who have wrestled a Subaru or Sienna hub for hours with a pry bar and penetrant tend to describe the first pull with this set the same way: a dozen blows and the hub rips clean out.

The nine-way part is real versatility, not marketing. Internal and external jaws, a two-way cross block, and a three-way cone combine to grab bearings, gears, and seals from almost any angle. It also ships with a front hub puller, a rear axle puller, a grip-wrench adapter that lets you slam against your own vise grips, a dent-puller screw for sheet metal, and a puller hook for seals and press-fit parts. Everything threads to the industry-standard 5/8 inch by 18 slide-hammer pattern, so any OTC-compatible attachment you already own drops right on. The 17 pound kit lands in a sturdy blow-molded case that keeps each piece seated in its own pocket. This is a tool you buy once and hand down. Ships from the USA.
