Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.301M Self-Gripping Outside Puller is a professional-grade tool designed for mechanics and maintenance technicians who require reliable bearing removal in automotive or industrial settings. Its primary benefit is the self-gripping mechanism, which allows for hands-free positioning; however, users should note that its reach is limited to 100mm, which may not suit deeper machinery assemblies.

FAQs
What is the maximum spread of the U.301M?
The puller has a spread range of 15mm to 100mm.
Can I use this puller without a slide hammer?
Yes, the puller is a standalone tool, but it is compatible with the U.49AM slide hammer for increased extraction force.
Are the tips replaceable?
Yes, the tool uses the U.301E1 replacement tip.
What does the power restrictor pin do?
It serves as a safety mechanism that engages when excessive torque is applied, protecting the tool from snapping.
What is the reach of this puller?
The reach is 100mm.
How do I ensure the legs stay in place?
The integrated return spring automatically holds the legs against the component, providing a self-gripping action.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips off the bearing during use
Check that the self-gripping spring is not damaged and ensure the tips are correctly seated in the bearing groove.
Forcing screw is difficult to turn
Clean and re-lubricate the threads; if it remains stiff, stop immediately to prevent damaging the tool.
Power restrictor pin engages frequently
The bearing may be too tightly seized. Apply penetrating oil and allow it to soak before re-attempting, or use a slide hammer attachment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure self-gripping action simplifies one-handed operation
- Safety pin prevents over-torquing and equipment damage
- Robust build quality typical of Facom industrial tools
- Excellent compatibility with existing Facom slide hammer systems
Cons
- Limited to a 100mm maximum reach depth
- Requires specific replacement tips (U.301E1) for maintenance
- Not suitable for extremely large or deep-seated bearing housings
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the U.301M involves ensuring the legs are adjusted to the diameter of the bearing and the return spring is properly seated to allow for tension. Compatibility is focused on the Facom ecosystem; the tool is engineered to interface directly with the U.49AM slide hammer for heavy-duty applications. For maintenance, keep the forcing screw threads clean and lightly lubricated with a high-quality machine grease. Regularly inspect the U.301E1 tips for mushrooming or deformation. If the power restrictor pin triggers, stop operation immediately, inspect the setup for binding or misalignment, and ensure the workpiece is not seized beyond the capacity of the puller.
