Your cart is empty.The hub puller is designed to push the drive axle out of the wheel hub center or pull the hub off the drive axle. The adjustable puller legs fit virtually any hub configuration and the 5-bolt plate allows for quick attachment to bolt patterns. Any technician who has ever run across an axle frozen into a hub or similar will benefit from this tool. Applying heat or directly striking the axle and or hub components typically results in damage and requires replacement. This tool will eliminate that damage along with saving time and money of replacement.

Alot more heavy duty that I expected. No way this unit will bend (like my cheaper one did). But, the three bolts provided to connect the legs to the plate, did not fit through the pre-drilled holes on the plate. Not that big of a deal - I easily bored them out a little more with a drill press. But if you're expecting for this to work out of the box or you don't have a drill press and a big bit, you'll be disappointed.

Overall I've always been pleased by OTC tools, they're a great mid-tier mix of quality and price.As others noted the puller plate can bend and in my case working with a 63 Studebaker my impact gun was able to bend it pretty quickly. That said I'm not faulting the tool at all. We're exerting many tons of force here and with the spread of the arms giving it a lot of leverage. If they made it any thicker users would start to run into issues with getting enough of a purchase on the wheel studs. My solution was to box the puller plate with 1/4” x 1-1/2” steel bar stock. I cut three 11” pieces and then MIG welded them on both side making the plate significantly stronger. The 1/4” plate might have been overkill but it let me crank up the current on the MIG to get good penetration on the puller plate. Zero deflection at the point my impact gun reached its max output. This modification could interfere with some uses depending on the size of the hub or drum. I figure if I come across an application that this won’t work on I can buy another plate separately.As you can see those old Avanti hubs finally gave in a popped off.

This is the second time I've had to change the front bearings on my 2000 Avalon. The first time I did this, about 10 years ago, I struggled for days getting the axle out of the hub on the passenger side. And the same side was stuck again this time. I decided not to fight it and get the right tool for the job. This puller made fast and easy work of the problem. Honestly, I think it took longer to get the tool lined up and mounted than it did to actually extract the axle shaft from the hub. Once mounted, I would alternate between whacking the end of the screw with a 3 lb. mini-sledge and tightening the screw with a breaker bar. That worked the shaft right out of the hub in a few minutes.Don't forget to lube the screw up with copper anti-seize before use to prevent galling the threads. I also polished and lubed the end of the axle-shaft with copper anti-seize before mounting the puller to reduce friction.

This puller did the job when nothing else had worked. Took a 12 year rusted wheel hub assembly off my Titan truck in less time than it took me to get setup and ready to start. Heavy duty and well made but doesn’t come with a case, I bought a cheap tool bag for it. If you have six wheel lugs you’ll need to buy an extra leg, sold separately. Have three steel open nuts (to fit your specific lug screws) and hardened washers so you can secure it to the wheel hub. After you’ve prepped the hub and soaked with penetrating oil grease the main puller screw so you don’t damage it as you start pulling. Take it slow whether using hammer wrench or air gun, stop every few turns and tap the end of main puller screw with hammer to relieve pressure...be ready that hub will pop out and with the puller attached that’s quite a bit of weight to watch out for.

Well built and heavy, but not irresistable. Was trying to remove the half shaft on a Subaru. What happened is that the 3/8" thick mounting plate bent and the shaft did not come out. I did have an insane amount of pressure on it. I expect the tool will work on anything that is not completely frozen in the hub.

I considered the OTC 7394 at first. The slug wrench is clearly shown as with the puller. The spec's show a minimum blot circle of 5", and mention the use of a puller plate 6574-1. It appeared to me that if one ordered puller 6574, one would receive a 7394 plus the 6574-1 puller plate. Before I ordered the OTC 6574, I watched the OTC Tool Guy U-tube video on the 6574 which clearly showed the slug wrench with the puller.and being used. I assumed this puller included the slug wrench as does the OTC 7394. On receipt of my order, and on checking the contents, there was no slug wrench as shown in the video. It is not much use to me without the slug wrench. I can't help feeling that I was tricked even though the illustration of the OTC 6574 omits the slug wrench. Why would one puller come with a slug wrench and another not? Clearly, they both need it.

So, if you've ever used one of these then you know that the hammering surface attachment makes the tool. It's not included..they rate the tool at 20 tons, so, what device can you use to apply up to 20 tons of pressure, enough to jar a hub loose, without breaking a socket wrench, breaker bar or chromoly wrench, would you really trust an impact wrench on these threads? the answer is a hammering surface, which isn't included. when i called in i said it's like selling shoes without laces, just plain stupid and down right cheap. the only saving grace is how good the quality of what they do send is, but i wouldn't buy this again, and i'm surely not sending it back for shipping and some stupid restocking fee. there are plenty of other options out there with all the parts you need to make use of it already included and a better prices, but i guess satisfaction isn't on their mind when then post it at a lower price and incomplete.

I have a 1968 340 Jaguar where the rear hubs can be near impossible to get off. This puller did the job, but the 5 stud adapter plate is needed. Just bolting the pullers' three legs on the studs does not allow an even force on the hub. If you belong the Jaguar Club of North America you can borrow the club tool which is the original Churchill hub puller made in the UK, but if that's not accessible, the OTC puller worked. The business end of the puller did not fit on the end of the Jag axle very well and I didn't want to damage the puller or the axle, so I had a machine shop make up an adapter for around 40 bucks so everything fit well. I greased the threads of the puller and the adapter _ generally any where there was high pressure contact. I tightened up on the puller until I could turn it no more and hit the end of the puller with a 10 pound hammer _ just using the weight of the hammer(any more force probably would have "mushroomed" the end of the axle). I waited for the tone to change and continued to tighten up on the puller. On the 5th try the hub suddenly popped off.
