OMT Blind Hole Collet Bearing Race and Seal Puller Extractor Kit

I’ve had this Orion Motor Tech Blind Hole Collet Bearing Removal Kit for a few months now, and it has really proven its worth. Recently, I used it to pull out the transfer case half shaft axle bushing on a Ford Escape, and it worked great. The kit made what could have been a frustrating and difficult job much easier and cleaner.The collet system grips the bearing firmly without damaging surrounding components, which I especially appreciated given how tight and awkward the space was. The quality of the materials feels solid, and the design is intuitive enough that setup and use were straightforward.This kit is a solid addition to any automotive DIYer or professional’s toolbox, especially if you’re dealing with blind hole bearings or bushings. It saved me time and effort and got the job done efficiently. Highly recommended!

Worked good for pulling a pilot bearing! Would recommend!

Typical Chinese quality. If you look at it as a starting point and not a finished product you won't be disappointed. The stays are wobbly, the steel is soft and some of the threads are boogered. That being said, with a little effort getting it ready I was able to pull two races on a machine tool I am rebuilding. Worked great. the collets and threads are very soft steel so it certainly won't last for repeated operations, but for occasional use it worked great. If you want quality spend the peony and get Snap-on. For a one off use, this is the tool.

I don't write reviews that often--but I just received this and was able to remove both bearings and brass sintered bearings from a closed shaft. Lots of ways to remove bearings--but 2mm thick brass bushings are really an "acid test" for a tool like this... More importantly, the removal of these bushings did not scratch or mar the internal finish of the shaft. Very impressive--especially for price. A couple observations--first, as you approach the limit of the diameter of the bushings--the tongs are not exactly even--so care should be taken to fit it carefully. Second, the "counterstay" is pretty wonky--you must turn the large counterstay nut---not the end nut. If you turn the end nut--as on a gear puller--you will disconnect/unscrew everything. took me a while to figure this out. At end of day--worth every penny!

Good value for the cost.I've used mine a few times and it was really quite impressive. Remove a inner blind hole bearing seal like no bodies bussiness. I had been digging at it for a few days and couldn't get it out. With this tool, after properly set up, it was out in literally 3 seconds.It is nice to have in the tool arsenal , I rebuild alot of roller bearings and I know this will come in handy over time.

How can something be worse than garbage? Because it also wastes your time in addition to not performing the function it was supposed to.I bought this for a specific job. I had two blind bearings to pull, pretty straightforward ones too, and I was successful with zero. A 0% success rate is pretty terrible. Not only are the threads really chattery and rough, still covered in dust from the manufacturing process and sharp as hell, but the puller brace is a joke. It's a floppy mess of loose-fitting pot metal parts that aren't even remotely solid enough to pull a bearing. Before I even loaded up the first attempt, I donned my safety glasses, knowing it was likely this thing would get its final revenge on me by taking me out through the eyeball.As you can see from the picture, the whole thing twisted under any reasonable amount of torque, and now it's permanently bent. How much torque you ask? I dunno, but less than it took to remove that bearing. Now, I know what you're thinking: "but, but, maybe your bearing was really stuck and it was asking too much of this puller to remove it!?" Nope, I ended up fabricobbling a blind puller from a couple washers, some half-inch bolts I had laying around, and a flange puller plate. Pulled that sucker right out.Every time I buy an OMT product, I know I'm taking a gamble, and I've been burned by several of their products in the past. Well, I think this is the last time I wager my time. I suggest you don't waste yours.

This might work fine on larger bearings. On smaller bearings it is useless unless the bearing happens to be attached to a motor or something solid.Trying to use the press part with the legs... yeah the legs are too short for the second to smallest attachment.So IF it was about 5 inches longer I could have pulled the bearing out with the jaws. But it's so short that it bottoms out before you can pull the bearing.

This tool works perfectly. I did read some people complaining that the fittings don’t fit the hole properly. Well, you know what that’s life. You can’t engineer a generic one size fits all tool to fit every hole on the planet. In this case, I ran into that problem. The closest DIE would not fit the hole. So I simply trimmed the hole ever so slightly. The tool went IN and worked flawlessly.

Funktioniert für den kleinen Preis gut

I had to remove a needle bearing from a front differential so I bought and tried this tool. After a light learning curve, I was successful in removing the bearing. I subsequently used it to remove two axle seals in which it worked well. For the time and low amount of effort it took the tool was well worth the investment, I consider it paid for. Depending on the bearing, don't expect the bearing will necessarily survive the extraction as you are pulling on the inner race, but then again it isn't common practice to remove 'good' bearings. Seals will also be damaged, but you should never plan to reuse a seal either. All in all a good tool, made of hardened steel. Comes with a short slide hammer (limited use) and a two jaw puller which works well at a smooth consistent pull not creating shrapnel. FYI you will need about a 1/8" to 3/16" of space minimum behind the bearing/seal for the tool to penetrate and grab.

Really impressed with this bearing puller set. The kit comes with everything you need and the quality of the tools is excellent for the price. They feel solid and well-made, and the different size adaptors mean it covers a wide range of jobs. Used it to remove a stubborn bearing and it worked perfectly – saved me a lot of time and effort. Would highly recommend to any home mechanic or professional. Great value for money.

Está macizo, funciona muy bien para sacar baleros internos, el precio de 2,000 se me hace razonable.

Essential item in my garage now following complete bike rebuild including virtually all bearings. A few tips and techniques had to be learned to get the best out of it but overall very positive and good value.
