Bearing Splitter - 5/8 to 8 In - OTC Tools and Equipment

The OTC 1126 Bearing Splitter is a robust tool engineered for professional technicians tackling challenging automotive and industrial separation tasks. This heavy-duty tool efficiently extracts large, press-fit components like bearings, gears, and pulleys, particularly from confined spaces. Its design ensures controlled removal, minimizing potential damage to shafts and housings during demanding operations.

Key Features

• Wide 5/8" to 8" Capacity: The OTC 1126 accommodates a broad spectrum of automotive, truck, and industrial components, including those often inaccessible to standard pullers due to its extensive spread.
• Precision-Ground Knife Edges: Thin, sharp knife edges are designed to slip securely behind tightly fitted parts, providing an even grip for efficient and damage-free splitting.
• Integrated Pulling System Compatibility: This splitter seamlessly integrates with OTC Grip-O-Matic® and Push-Puller sets (such as models 1047, 1043, and 938/939), allowing for versatile, high-force pulling configurations.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed from high-strength steel, this tool is built to withstand rigorous daily use in demanding shop environments, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance.
• Stable Component Removal: Featuring a 7-1/8" distance between adjusting screws and 1"-14 tapped holes, the design promotes stable, centered pulling force, protecting shafts and surrounding components during extraction.

Applications

This bearing splitter is invaluable for removing stubborn components such as wheel bearings, transmission and differential bearings, large gears, pulleys, and bushings. It is ideally suited for passenger vehicles, light and heavy-duty trucks, off-road equipment, and various industrial machinery. This tool is a critical asset in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and heavy equipment service centers where controlled, high-force pulling is essential for larger press-fitted parts.
