OTC Tools 6575-1 Extracteur de grappin de moyeu

I purchased this puller to remove a John Deere GT245 electric PTO clutch AM126100 without damage. It is perfectly sized for the job and worked amazingly well to remove a clutch that was siezed almost permanently on the engine shaft. It truly is a quality tool.

I used this "Hub Grappler" puller to extract a hub from the front wheel bearing on a Subaru Outback, without having to remove the steering knuckle. This puller did a solid job getting the hub out without any damage and actually made easy work out of it.

The package says "Made in the USA of globally sourced components". I have to say, it's extremely well made. THICK, durable metal, which is coated to prevent rusting. The jaws are remarkably thick and sturdy - I would say professional grade. The forcing bolt and nut are nice and snug, made to high tolerance.

I would recommend putting anti-seize lube on the bolt and nut for longevity.

Great job, OTC!

Works great, very stable. OTC has stepped up by adding this to a great puller set. Wish this had been around sooner.

I usually find pulling the hub out of a wheel bearing is the toughest part of replacing a bearing. I usually use my 20 ton press until I bought this tool
I have used this puller three times so far and it has made pulling the hubs out of the FWD front wheel bearings much easier. I even used that bolt with my bearing puller kit making removing and installing the bearing easier too. Always grease up that bolt!

This OTC 6575 Hub Grappler Puller and the HarborFreight Front Wheel Bearing Adapter made taking out the front wheel hubs for a 2005 Toyota Tacoma really easy. One of the main reason why I bought this instead of a Shop Press is because of space. I'm a DIY'er and I currently have a 1 car garage and don't want a big shop press in the garage. Especially when I'm not going to be doing this often, this Hub Puller is small enough to where i can just put it anywhere in the garage when done. Their warranty seems to be pretty good as well. Mine came with one of the legs a little bent. It was still functional and I used it to do the wheel hub job, then I called OTC to get it warranty and they sent me a new leg and I used the same box to ship the slightly bent leg back. The bent leg wasn't due to use, but I think it wasn't formed correctly from the manufacturing process so need not worry about the legs ever bending from use, it's pretty strong. You will also need an impact gun. I actually use the 1/2 electric corded impact gun from HF and it did a good job at removing the hub. Also, as everyone has mentioned, you will also need a 32mm wrench and a 1 inch socket. Grease up the long bolt well and that will prevent premature damage to the bolt. I noticed that when the impact gun was going at it with the 1 inch socket, the socket was getting pretty warm. So definitely use an impact socket and not a regular chrome vanadium socket.
