RE: ShopTalk: Shaft puller

[Royce Engler]

So...Arnie....  How about posting a picture?

 

I have an old floor jack that has been tempting me to pull out the hydraulics and build a puller, but I haven't figured out how I want to do it yet...

 

Thanks!

If cost is an object, I think there's plans from a while back (compliments
of TFlan, I think) to create a shaft puller from a vise very inexpensively
. and surely better than this.

There is another DIY extractor made from a spreader/clamp that will cost you about $20 that is good for a hobbiest (see www.bombsquadgolf.com) and I've even made one for less than $5 like the component companies "prybar types". My hydraulic puller is homemade and has been in use for two years at the rate of 8-14 times a day with no problems but it cost me about $90 to build because I don't have the equipment to weld aluminium.
