BIHR puller

BIHR offers this puller. Some parts of the bike are fitted very tightly: the ignition flywheel on the end of the crankshaft, the bearings in the crankcases or hubs.

Why use a puller?

The benefits:

• The force is applied in line with the part: it comes out straight, without tilting or seizing.
• Flywheel puller with the exact thread of the rotor: it pulls on the full length of the thread instead of stripping the first turns.
• Depending on the model, reversible jaws or expanding collets: one tool to pull a part from the outside or a bearing from the inside.

Why choose BIHR?

Bihr is a distributor from Alsace founded in 1975 by Cyrille Bihr, who started out with a bicycle and motorcycle repair shop in Hegenheim. Based in Bartenheim, it supplies more than 200,000 parts from seven European warehouses and develops its own range of parts and workshop tools.

When should you replace this tool?

A crushed or stripped thread, a bent centre bolt or one with a mushroomed tip, spread or cracked jaws: replace the puller or the relevant spare part, it may give way under load.
