Naval Maintenance And Mechanical Tools – Technical Manuals, Fasteners, And System Operations Practice Test

A gear and bearing puller is used to pull which items?

Nuts and bolts Gears, bearings, pinions, sheaves, pulleys, and wheels Shafts Pins

Correct Answer:

Gears, bearings, pinions, sheaves, pulleys, and wheels

Explanation:

The gear and bearing puller is built to remove components that are press-fitted onto shafts or housed tightly, by applying axial force evenly around the part. It grips the outer surfaces of items like gears, bearings, pinions, sheaves, pulleys, and wheels and pulls them off without marring the parts or the shaft. This makes it the best choice for taking off those components because they commonly require a controlled pulling action to release them from interference fits. Nuts and bolts are fasteners removed with wrenches, shafts aren’t typically the target of a puller, and pins are taken out with pin extractors or similar tools. So, the gear and bearing puller excels at removing gears, bearings, pinions, sheaves, pulleys, and wheels.
