Hi has anyone used this type of puller to avoid a major strip down. I need to change my front output bearing and thought this would make it easier.
Hook type bearing puller

The outer bearing race groove. You can buy pullers which work this way.

Think your on a loser there. We are talking the front output shaft on the transfer box are we.

I was thinking of adapting a three legged puller to fit.
This web site is for a bike bearing but a similar idea!

That would not be easy the fingers need to trap in the groove and against the inner race to stop them slipping out. Not saying one could not be made but is it worth the hassle? The one made for the bike looks pretty easy to make though.

Maybe not but thought I'd ask the question before undertaking the bearing change.
Hi
Bearing manufacturers, like FAG and SKF, offer what we call "ball pullers" in kits. SKF Maintenance and Lubrication Products
They work like this: The pullers screw onto a length of threaded bar. The end of the pullers are shaped like balls with the same diameter as those in the bearing that you want to remove, but two opposing sides of each ball is flattened. You need to pick, rip or drill out the bearing cage first. Then you insert the pullers with the flat faces facing the inner and outer races (this is the only way they'll go in) and twist them through 90 degrees. They are now locked between the inner and outer races. A strongback can now be fitted to the threaded bars and a small jack or a bolt can be used to pull the bearing. They work beautifully and we use them all the time at work. They are not available for the smallest of bearings though.
Good luck
