OTC ROBINAIR BOSCH - ACH 1173 Pilot Bearing Puller

OTC ROBINAIR BOSCH - ACH 1173 Pilot Bearing Puller

The OTC ROBINAIR BOSCH - ACH 1173 Pilot Bearing Puller pairs a dedicated internal pull design with a slide hammer to remove pilot bearings safely and efficiently. Designed for automotive service and mechanic applications, this puller provides a controlled internal extraction method that minimizes risk to surrounding components. The compact design fits into transmission and crankshaft openings where external pullers cannot reach.

Cutting Pliers And Mechanic Pliers

While this tool is a specialty puller rather than a pair of cutting pliers, it complements a technician's pliers set by addressing internal bearing removal tasks that require a slide-hammer action. Mechanic pliers are typically used for gripping and bending, and the 1173 pilot bearing puller fills the internal-extraction role in the same service workflow. Technicians will find it useful when standard pliers cannot access press-fit pilot bearings.

Professional Pliers And Heavy Duty Pliers

The 1173 is built for professional use, matching the durability expectations of heavy duty pliers in garage and shop environments. Its slide hammer delivers repeatable force to extract bearings without relying on impact to adjacent parts, helping to preserve housings and shafts. The tool’s compact footprint and focused puller jaws make it suitable for a variety of passenger vehicle and light-duty commercial applications where internal pilot bearings must be removed for replacement or inspection.

For service technicians, the OTC ROBINAIR BOSCH - ACH 1173 provides predictable internal pull performance and pairs well with common mechanic hand tools. The set-up is straightforward: position the puller inside the bearing bore, engage the jaws, and use the slide hammer to apply steady extraction force. This approach reduces the need for improvised methods that can damage transmissions or crankshaft surfaces.

Included features and benefits focus on fit, access, and controlled extraction to support automotive repair workflows. Compatibility and specific vehicle fitment should be confirmed against service manuals and bearing specifications before use. Fast shipping.
