This worked for me to remove bearings from a 1/2 hp electric motor. I'm very happy with that for the price. The main parts are forged and strong enough for their intended purpose, and the price is right. It was hard to know if the size is right for my application, so here are the measurements you really need. I find this to be much closer to a 4 inch puller. The maximum distance between the end of a shaft (e.g. motor) and the *bottom* of the bearing is 3.90 inches. Situation is close, consider the next larger size. My situation was very close, but attaching the gripping lugs under the bearing was complicated by the fan blades, which the bearing was fairly close to. So I was glad I got this instead of the next size up. 2. The bolts that keep the arms from slipping off the bearing/pulley are 0.60" apart. So a 5/8"(.625") motor shaft won't fit in between. I just didn't use them and in my case it worked because the bearing didn't bind, it just pushed in slightly. I think I could try using just one of them and maybe use some sort of clamp on the other; maybe I'll try that next time. I've held up well and haven't found any scars from this use. I will definitely be saving it for the next motor that visits the treatment bench. I think it's a pretty good design for this purpose, except the lever clamp bolts are too close together. Maybe I'll save the ones on the lathe for clearance since .625" is the common shaft diameter for motors in the shop.
