The supplier lists it for yokes from 1-7\/8 in to 2-3\/16 in and for common Spicer and Meritor driveline series, and it comes with three flange bolt sizes so it can be secured to different yokes. Easy Life Markets offers this tool for fleet workshops, truck mechanics and owner-operators who service heavy driveshafts and want a controlled way to remove tight bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn heavy trucks, driveshaft U-joint bearings sit in the yoke ears and are often held very tightly by rust, dirt and years of load. Hammering them out risks bending the yoke ears, damaging the bearing bores or harming nearby parts. A yoke puller bolts to the yoke and uses a forcing screw to push the bearing out steadily, giving more control than striking tools. The supplier states the tool is heat-treated for strength.

A heavy duty yoke puller applies force in a straight line and lets you control it with a wrench. According to the supplier, this lets you separate tight bearings without harming nearby components. It is also quieter, safer for the technician and usually quicker once the tool is set up.
