OMT Rear Axle Bearing Puller Tool Kit and Slide Hammer Set

Popped the axles and seals out of my ford 9” differential easy as pie. Excellent set.

I have used this tool to remove axles and a harmonic balancer that was stuck. The tool and included accessories do the job. You may need to source some hardware (bolts) depending on what your working on. However overall it's a fine tool to have around.

I've been gathering used made-in-USA bearing pullers and gear separators, mainly OTC branded or rebranded, some Craigslist, mostly eBay. There was gap in what I had: there's a lot that can be done with a slide-hammer puller. After seeing the reviews and checking some details for this OMT/Orion set, which is a duplicate of OTC 4579, and seeing that it was on sale, I decided to give it a try. At the current "limited time deal" price, the Orion set is just about half the cost of OTC, and both are made in China now. The fit and finish on everything looks great. The edges on the inner/outer bearing puller fingers are crisp; there's just a little bit of grit on some of the threaded surfaces, easily cleaned off before use; and the vise grips adapter not only fit the vintage USA Petersen full-size wrenches I have, but also allowed them to close down all the way (reviews of some competing products mentioned this as a limitation). I suppose I could yet find in use the yield strength of the steel deficient, but but so far the set seems worth the savings. I was offered the option of it being shipped in just the manufacturer's cardboard box, which turned out to be a substantial double-thickness. There were complaints about the blow-molded plastic box breaking easily, so I asked for an additional Amazon box outside that, and everything arrived safely. Very happy with what I've received.

It seems like a nice tool, worked great on my 2015 Dodge Dart rear bearing. However, it didn't support a bolt circle large enough for my Ram 1500 pickup. I tried just attaching it to two of the 5 lug nuts even though that didn't have it centered over the bearing and rotated while pulling, but it wasn't enough. I ended up removing the steering knuckle and hitting the back side of the bearing about 8 times with a large sledge hammer to remove it. In fairness to the slide hammer a bit of the aluminum knuckle was corroded to the bearing and came out with it, so it wouldn't have been an easy pull even if it bolted on correctly.

Works great. Took my axle out of my golf cart in one pull. Highly recommend.

★★★★★ The Orion Motor Tech Slide Hammer 9-Way Internal Puller Set is a very useful tool for removing bearings, bushings, and other parts that are difficult to access. The kit feels solid and well made, and the different attachments make it versatile for many repair jobs. The slide hammer has good weight and provides strong pulling force, making jobs much easier compared to trying to remove parts by hand. The case is also convenient for keeping everything organized and protected. For the price, the quality and performance are impressive. I’m very satisfied with this tool and would recommend it to DIY mechanics and professionals.

Really nice set-- everything i needed for stubborn wheel bearings plus fits my pilot bearing puller

Love it!!

Das Set ist sehr gut verarbeitet und macht einen wertigeren Eindruck als die sonst nur minimal günstigeren Sets die im Internet angeboten werden von verschiedenen Herstellern in "blauen Koffern" die alle gleich sind. Ich habe es trotzdem zurück geschickt, da er für meinen Anwendungszweck zu leicht war.

Nice solid built, bit of kit. All the attachments screw together as you'd expect. Only thing I've done, is lube the threads. Ideal for pulling off hubs.

Muy bien,completo e impecable,perfecto empacado

This tool Worked excellent on my 2016 ram 1500 5.7 HEMI for changing my rear axle bearings 👍

Great value, does the job.
