OEMTOOLS 27059 Pilot Bearing Puller Attachment For Slide Hammer

I had a pilot bushing comfortably resting in its home for 31 years, it did not want to come out. I borrowed a tool from the local parts store, no joy. Tried the trick of packing bread in the cavity and pounding with a bolt; yes, that's really a thing. That didn't work either. After buying this tool, I installed it on my slide hammer and after 3 or 4 whacks, out it came. I couldn't be happier. Too bad I'll probably never use it again, but it was worth every penny. Note that the threaded bore of the tool has two different thread diameters, my slide hammer was the smaller diameter and so I had to insert the hammer shaft in far enough to find the threads. I didn't realize this at first and had a moment of panic. Reading the description on the product page explains this, fyi.

Worked well on my 1991 Jeep JK.

Good product, well made. The teeth of the puller are thick. So they may not fit into thin gaps. Such as the case with a Ford 400 pilot bearing (or Cleveland or Modified or Big Block). It removed the inner bearing section no problem but the sleeve "race" that gets pressed into the crank has thin removal ports that I'm sure Ford had a special tool for. I found a you tube video showing this tool being used to remove that pressed in part, but it did not work for me and went the hydraulic method which popped it quite easily. As in pack the cavity with grease find a socket the same diameter as the opening, reverse it, plug the 3/8 driver hole with an extension then tap the extension with a hammer, add more grease as needed. only with the cavity is completely full with the hydraulic principles work and push the part out. Works great but is messy.

perfect tool, it is replaceing one we wore out! Very happy with the product and longevity

Pilot bearing removal success. Engine 4.9 inline 6 cylinder is in a 1994 Ford F250, the pilot bearing needed to be replaced and this tool did the trick. However, you can see in the pics that the tool was too big to fit inside of the bearing with the rollers still intact. Look at the pic with the new bearing as a example. I beat the dickens out of the old bearing to remove the rollers and plucked out pieces with needle vice grips and screw drivers. Then I could get the Oemtool 27059 inside for a good bite into the grooves on the back side of what was left of the bearing. Using a 7.5 lb weight and a Reese 2" ball that has a 3/4 stud with 18 threads per inch all assembled gave me a mock slide hammer. 3- hits and the bearing came out. Good money spent.

Excellent-- and fits right on my slide hammer.

Works as intended, heavy duty, nice tool, I added a rubber o ring around the fingers to keep them together it helps alot

Does not fit in a Chevy pilot bushing . Had to modify it by .100 thousand to fit hope it works. They don’t tell you the size hole it will fit

Spot on , like this a lot good tool

Awesome tool, attaches to pullers and slide hammers. Used to pull seals and bearings.

Se ve de buena calidad aunque no lo e utilizado aún se ve resistente, ideal para extraer rodamientos chicos y medianos, lo recomiendo

Hi have been recommended by your website to buy the other puller kits but that slide hammer won’t fit so how am I supposed to use the puller where is the adapter or otherwise please take it back

Excelente herramienta fácil de usar muy práctica y resistente para lo que está hecha
