Lifter Pullers

Lifter Pullers

Lifter pullers are a type of automotive tool used to remove hydraulic valve lifters from an engine. They are typically made of steel or aluminum and come in a variety of styles, including:

  • Screw-type lifter pullers: These pullers have a threaded rod that is inserted into the lifter bore and turned to unscrew the lifter.
  • Piston-type lifter pullers: These pullers have a piston that is inserted into the lifter bore and compressed to push the lifter out.
  • C-clamp lifter pullers: These pullers have a C-shaped clamp that is placed around the lifter and tightened to remove it.

Lifter pullers are an essential tool for any automotive mechanic who works on engines with hydraulic valve lifters. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them a worthwhile investment for any mechanic.
