Effective Strategies for Using SKF Bearing Pullers

Choose the right puller: Select a puller with a capacity appropriate for the size and type of bearing you need to remove.

Secure the puller: Ensure the puller is firmly attached to the bearing before attempting to remove it.

Apply consistent pressure: Apply steady, even force to the puller to avoid damaging the bearing or surrounding components.

Use penetrating oil: Lubricate the bearing and puller contact points with penetrating oil to reduce friction and prevent seizing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overtightening the puller: Excessive force can damage the bearing or puller.

Using an incorrect puller: Choosing a puller that is too small or too large can result in slippage or damage.

Neglecting maintenance: Regularly inspect and lubricate your SKF bearing puller to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
