Orion Motor Tech OMT Front Hub and Rear Axle Puller Set

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I recently had to replace a wheel bearing on my truck, and the Orion Motor Tech Front Wheel Hub Puller was a lifesaver. What would have been hours of hammering and frustration turned into a smooth, controlled removal process. This tool is solidly built, and you can feel the quality as soon as you pick it up. The flange-type design is smart — it distributes force evenly across the hub and works great on stubborn, rusted-in hubs. The puller lined up perfectly with the studs, and the included forcing screw had no problem handling the torque from my impact wrench. It stayed centered and applied steady pressure without slipping or damaging anything. This is one of those specialty tools that pays for itself on the first use. If you work on front wheel drive vehicles or deal with corroded hubs in colder climates, this is a must-have addition to your toolbox. It made a tough job much more manageable. Highly recommended for DIYers and professionals alike!

Works like a charm!

The front wheel hub puller fits inside the well of a JD LA145 rear wheel (20x10.00-8). This is important because on John Deere wheels you have to drill the hole yourself. Unless your holes are lined up just right, you will bend up your bolts without moving the wheel. After wasting time and money using other methods, I finally got this to work: 0: Spray lots of PB Blaster between the wheel and axle on both sides of the wheel. 1. tap a small indent in the middle of the axle (optional) 2. Set the puller against the wheel (only the 3 3/4 - 4 1/2 one fits) and use the two slots that are opposite each other to stencil marks right on the wheel. 3. Use a 1/2 drill bit (make sure it's for metal)to drill through at your marks. Note, the wheel here is not very thick, maybe a 1/4 inch so it doesn't require much drilling. Place a piece of cardboard or rag under the wheel to catch the metal shavings that will be produced and wear a simple mask, like a COVID mask. Wipe up the remaining shavings with a rag sprayed with PB Blaster. 4. Attach the puller to the wheel. Run bolts through the puller and drill-holes and then fasten a nut on the back end. Make sure the nuts are relatively evenly threaded (for instance, if you thread one with 10 twists , then use 10 twists on the other. This will ensure that your puller comes straight back and does not cant relative to the wheel. Otherwise, you might bend blots). 5. Jack up the rear end so the tire is off the ground. 6. Use a breaker bar to torque the stubborn wheel right off. You will need someone to hold the wheel and keep it from turning. Otherwise, run a metal rod between the puller and screw so that it contacts the ground. As you wrench, the puller will try to turn with the wheel, but will be prevented by the rod in contact with the ground. 7. Crack a beer and admire the sight of the wheel-less, rusty axle that no amount of pounding or lubing or heating could overcome. 8. Clean the axle with rag soaked with brake cleaner and then sand the rust off with 220 grit sandpaper. Make sure you clean the key and key groove, too. Clean inside the wheel, too - it might help to use a sanding drum on a drill, but I didn't have to because I replaced the wheel anyway. 9. Wipe clean with the brake-cleaner rag again and let it dry for a minute or two. 10. Apply anti-size compound so that this never happens again (I used Permatex) I had to replace my wheel anyway, due to previous abuse from trying other methods. This method should keep your wheel in tact though. I suppose you would want to find some rubber plugs or else bondo over the holes when you are done,

"I was really hopeful this would work based on all the great reviews — the tool feels sturdy and well made, definitely not cheap or flimsy. You can tell it’s built to last. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for my specific car (2014 Hyundai Accent, automatic). I tried both pullers included in the kit, but the bolt patterns just didn’t line up correctly with my hub, so I wasn’t able to get the job done. That said, I still think it’s a good product — it just wasn't the right fit for my vehicle. If you’re thinking of buying it, just double-check the compatibility with your make and model before ordering. I wish it had worked out, but I can still appreciate the quality of the tool."

After over 2 months of problems, first package was missing forcing bolt. Finallly received a replacment. Used it for the first time and the forcing bolt stripped out bad and it’s not unusable. The axle I was removing was a bit seized but at the same time I grabbed the shop axle remover and it had no problems after this one broke. If you work in a shop and want something for everyday use this is not it. Literally did not work on the first axle removal. (2017 ford explorer) there is a lot of resistance because for some reason they paint the forcing bolt and the tool itself. I sprayed it with pb blaster to try to help lube it and still no help. I was going to change my seller review since they finally sent me a complete kit since My last one was missing a forcing bolt but honestly this is garbage. I don’t even want my money back I’m tired of dealing with them. The price says it all. Just do what I should have done the first time and spend the money on a real one.i don’t like slamming a company but honestly this is just ridiculous at this point. I couldn’t be more disappointed with this purchase. I never take the time to leave these reviews but they deserve it at this point. Please buy a name brand axle remover and don’t go through what I have

Oh man this thing is an absolute TROOPER. Replaced the wheel bearings on my 2016 jeep that spent its entire life living in the snowy midwest; and let me tell you what... those hub bearings were absolutely on there. Fully galled up and there was literally no way I was getting them out. This tool was unable to press them out; but i think thats less of a fault of the tool and more just the situation I was in. The hubs were so stuck in there, this tool pushed the axle out of the back end instead of pulling the bearing assembly OUT haha. For you people that live in the south or do your maintenance on a timely manner instead of waiting 40,000 miles out of spec; this thing will absolutely be worth the money. So that aside, this thing was an absolute BEAST for me. In for a penny here; I just started wailing on it with a 2 pound sledge. Rotating it while keeping pressure on the axle and hub for a pulling force. I am talking a serious amount of force being applied with these sledge strikes. I had to actually stop and get hearing protection on because of how loud it was. I beat on this thing for dang near 30 minutes and the hub bearing slowly but surely wiggled itself out. Keep in mind, this is absolutely NOT the right tool for THAT type of job; and they do make those kinds of tools, but I am telling you this because I am shocked at how well this thing held up. For a 20$ tool, I am extremely impressed at the overall build quality. I WILL SAY, the threaded portions are going to be a weak point of this device, and this really should be looked at as a semi disposable "one car job" kinda tool unfortunately. If youre in the professional world; you probably want something with acme threads and a more substantial rod; but we are talking a different type of money here. The threads on these will not hold up in the long run; but it will absolutely get you through all 4 hub bearings on a rusted out car. Not sure why the tool is listed as a "front wheel hub puller" as it very much works the exact same way on all four wheels lol. Picture of the rust to show what kind of working condition this is lol

They are a great tool. Nice to have them around just incase you need them

Pretty standard puller configuration but didn't last after trying to pull a CV axle from the wheel hub on a 2013 ford escape. The long bolt in this puller stripped out. Didn't seem as durable relative to other puller I have used.

Works great. Both front wheel bearings were bad on my Kia Sorento. I replaced the passenger side bearing before i had this tool, what a nightmare! I tried everything, including an air hammer, and heating the hub with torches. Eventually had to pretty much destroy the CV shaft by pounding on the end and damaging the threads. To complete the repair it required a new CV shaft assembly and wheel bearing. I then ordered this hub puller to use on the drivers side. All i can say is WOW! I removed the brake caliper, bracket, and rotor. Then removed the axle nut. Then installed the puller on the studs of the bearing and securing with 3 wheel lug nuts and started tightening the puller bolt against the shaft and applying pressure while striking the outer edge of the old bearing. After tightening the puller bolt and striking the bearing a couple more times the shaft started to move. Once it was moving easier i removed the wheel bearing mounting bolts and continued to use the puller to fully press the shaft out of the bearing. Presto, wheel bearing removed, and no damage to the CV shaft or threads, or the puller. Couple things I recommend, do not use an impact on the puller bolt, instead use a large 1/2 inch ratchet or johnson bar and tighten so theres a good amount of preload on it then strike the edges of the wheel bearing a few times, then tighten the bolt some more and repeat process until shaft starts to move. With some patience it should let go after a while. Impacts can damage or strip the puller bolt. Also be sure to lubricate the threads of the puller bolt with grease and or penetrating spray before and during the procedure. This tool has more than paid for itself after only using once.

Se ven bien a ver cuanto duran

ممتازة استخدمتها على فورد تورس ٢٠١٥ لفك العكس الامامي وكانت عملية وسهلة

Works very good

The tool worked for me but my axle was seized in the hub so much so that I stripped the threads on this tool using it to push the axle. FYI .. tighten the center bolt to put pressure on the axle, turn the center nut to thwart back pressure & bang on your hub with a small sledge. Repeat the process by tightening the bolt a few turns each time. It's the shock/vibration with pressure applied that loosens the axle from the hub.
