Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum size component this puller can accommodate?

The yoke has a size spread of 40mm to 93mm, meaning it can grip components within this diameter range.

Does this set include bolts for all car makes and models?

The set includes a comprehensive range of common SAE and metric bolts. While it covers many applications, it's always best to verify the specific thread size and pitch for your vehicle against the included hardware list.

Can this puller be used for items other than harmonic balancers and flywheels?

While primarily designed for harmonic balancers and flywheels, the tool's design with a yoke and puller bolts allows it to be adapted for removing other press-fit components within its size and strength capabilities, provided appropriate bolts can be used.

How should I lubricate the tool?

It is recommended to lightly oil the threads of the 130mm thrust bolt and any other metal components after cleaning to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation for future use.

What is the weight of the entire set?

The total weight of the Sealey Harmonic Balancer Puller Set (PS979) is 2.14kg.

Is there a specific order for tightening the bolts?

When attaching bolts to the component, ensure they are snug. When using the thrust bolt, tighten it gradually and evenly. If using multiple bolts on the yoke, ensure they are all equally tightened against the component before applying primary pulling force with the thrust bolt.

Troubleshooting

Puller not engaging or slipping

Ensure you are using the correct size and thread pitch bolts that are fully seated in the component. Check that the yoke is securely fastened to the bolts and that the thrust bolt is correctly centered.

Component not moving after applying force

Verify that the thrust bolt is threaded properly into the crankshaft (if applicable) or center hole. Ensure the component is not excessively seized. You may need to apply penetrating oil and allow it time to work, or use a hammer to gently tap the yoke (not the crankshaft) to help break the bond.

Bolt threads stripping

Confirm you are using the correct thread pitch. Do not overtighten bolts into the component before applying pulling force. If the threads are damaged, a replacement bolt may be needed.

Yoke arms bending

Ensure the pulling force is distributed evenly. If the component is extremely seized, consider using a hydraulic puller or seeking professional assistance to avoid tool damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive set with a wide range of bolts for broad compatibility.
  • Includes a durable storage case for organization and transport.
  • Suitable for both flywheels and pulleys, increasing utility.
  • Robust construction designed for demanding workshop use.

Cons

  • May not include specialized bolts for every single vehicle model.
  • Requires mechanical knowledge to select the correct bolts and use safely.
  • The size spread of 40-93mm might not cover all applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the bolts that correctly thread into the harmonic balancer or flywheel. Consult your vehicle's service manual if unsure.
  2. Attach the chosen bolts to the balancer/flywheel, ensuring they are securely fastened.
  3. Fit the yoke over the component, aligning the bolt holes.
  4. Thread the 130mm thrust bolt through the center of the yoke and into the crankshaft snout (if applicable and accessible) or a designated center hole.
  5. Use a wrench to tighten the thrust bolt. This will gradually pull the component off its shaft.

Compatibility:

This set is designed to be compatible with a wide range of vehicles. The size spread of the yoke is 40mm to 93mm. The extensive list of SAE and metric bolts provides broad coverage. However, always verify the thread size and pitch of the component you intend to pull against the included hardware. For extremely specialized or very new vehicles, custom solutions or manufacturer-specific tools might be required.

Care:

  • After each use, clean the puller components and bolts with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
  • Store all parts in the provided case to prevent loss and corrosion.
  • Lightly oil metal components, especially the thrust bolt threads, to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  • Regularly inspect the yoke and bolts for any signs of wear or damage.
