LASER TOOLS puller

LASER TOOLS 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 LASER TOOLS?

Laser Tools began in 1976 on a market stall in Leamington, England, where Martin Smith sold automotive tools; the brand belongs to The Tool Connection, based in Southam, Warwickshire. The company designs and manufactures specialist tools in Sheffield and works closely with vehicle manufacturers to develop new ones.

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.

Cross-Mania tip: For a flywheel puller, check the diameter, pitch and direction of the thread (internal or external) given for your engine, screw it fully home by hand and protect the end of the crankshaft with a cap before tightening the centre bolt.
