What is a Wheel Hub Puller?
The wheel hub puller is a set of tools used to remove the wheel hub from the axle without damaging the hub. It consists of a yoke or adapter, a pressure screw, a slide hammer, and lug nuts. These tools make it easier to perform wheel hub replacements at home should you go the DIY route instead of taking your vehicle to a mechanic.
How to remove wheel hub
The type and size of a wheel hub puller will depend on the type of wheel bearings on the vehicle. In general, these tools are used on vehicles with independent front-wheel suspensions and press-in wheel bearings.
Level of difficulty: Intermediate
Tools You’ll Need:
Safety glasses and gloves
Wheel hub puller (adapter/yoke, pressure screw, slide hammer)
Lug wrench
Torque wrench
Jack and jack stands
Wheel chocks
Penetrating oil
Before using the wheel hub puller kit, make sure that the hub shaft has been thoroughly doused with penetrating oil. The penetrating oil will make it easier for you to remove the wheel hub, especially if it is already covered in rust.
A wheel hub puller is a tool you can use if you’re planning to replace your wheel hubs yourself.
