Stainless Steel Slide Hammer

Our slide hammer can be connected to any of our tap-out pullers (or indeed our blind wind-out pullers) to quickly and easily pull out any bearing.  It is a convenient alternative to tapping the puller out from the other side using a hammer and drift.

In most cases the part holding the bearing can be held in one hand and the slide hammer operated with the other hand, saving the time normally spent finding support to tap out awkward bearings.

All parts of the hammer are manufactured from stainless steel, ensuring it's longevity through a lifetime of use.

Adaptors are provided for connecting the hammer to M6 and M8 threads, suitable for all of our V2 pullers.

• Impact mass:  455g
• Movement length:  220mm
• Length overall:  365mm
• Connections:  M6 and M8

All of our tools are designed and precision machined by ourselves, here in the UK, and shipped internationally.

How To

First, install our 'Tap-Out' type puller of the appropriate size in the bearing:

To remove the bearing, slide the weight quickly along the slide hammer so that it impacts with the end stopper.  A few sharp taps should be all that's required to remove the bearing.  Try to keep the hammer inline with the bearing and puller.

Our tools can be selected either by the bearing's dimensions or by the bearing's standard reference code.

Standard references take the form of a three to five digit number, such as 688, or 6902 for example.  These codes are often provided in the bike's user manuals, or moulded onto the bearing's seal. You might see something like 6902-2RS on the seal. The first digits are the standard reference.  The second part (2RS in this case) refers to the seal type and doesn't matter for tool selection.

While the letter & numbers after the baring ref usually refer to the type of seal, you should keep an eye out for the suffix 'E', for example 698-E.  This denotes that the inner race of the bearing is extended, which will affect puller and press selection. 

Alternatively, tools can be selected by their inside (ID) and outside (OD) diameters and width (W). 

Note that each tool is specific to one bearing size and can’t be used on bearings with different dimensions.
