Clarke 1801700 CHT700 Blind Bearing Puller Set F.A.Q.

What is the proper way to set up the Clarke 1801700 CHT700 Blind Bearing Puller?

To set up the Clarke 1801700 CHT700, first ensure all components are present. Select the appropriate collet for the bearing size, insert it into the bearing, and expand the collet by tightening the nut. Attach the slide hammer or puller assembly, ensuring it is securely connected.

How can I remove a stuck bearing using the Clarke CHT700?

If a bearing is stuck, ensure the correct collet is used and properly expanded inside the bearing. Use the slide hammer with steady, firm pulls to gradually extract the bearing. Be patient and avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

What maintenance steps are needed for the Clarke CHT700 Blind Bearing Puller?

Regularly clean all tool components to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts such as the slide hammer threads and collet mechanisms. Inspect for wear or damage and replace any compromised parts. Store in a dry place.

Can the Clarke CHT700 be used on all types of bearings?

The Clarke CHT700 is designed for removing blind or internal bearings. It is not suitable for all bearing types, particularly those that are accessible from both sides or require external pullers. Always verify compatibility with the specific bearing type.

What should I do if the collet does not fit the bearing snugly?

If the collet does not fit snugly, ensure you have selected the correct size for the bearing. If the issue persists, inspect the collet for wear or damage. Replacement of the collet may be necessary if it cannot expand properly.

Is it possible to use the Clarke CHT700 on a vehicle without removing the hub?

Yes, the Clarke CHT700 can be used on a vehicle without removing the hub, provided there is sufficient access to the bearing. Ensure the vehicle is securely supported and stable before starting the extraction process.

What precautions should be taken when using the slide hammer?

When using the slide hammer, wear safety goggles to protect against debris. Ensure all connections are tight to avoid accidental detachment. Use controlled movements to prevent damage to the surrounding area or injury.

How do I know when the bearing is fully extracted?

The bearing is fully extracted when the resistance decreases significantly and the bearing is visible outside its housing. Continue to pull gently until the bearing is completely free.

Can the Clarke CHT700 be used for installing new bearings?

The Clarke CHT700 is specifically designed for bearing removal. It is not intended for the installation of new bearings. Use appropriate bearing installation tools to ensure proper seating and alignment.

What should I do if the slide hammer mechanism feels stiff?

If the slide hammer mechanism feels stiff, clean and lubricate the threads and sliding surfaces. Regular maintenance can prevent stiffness. If the problem continues, check for signs of damage or wear and consider part replacement if necessary.
