Orion Motor Tech Front Hub and Rear Axle Puller Set — Universal Flange Puller, 5/8" x 18 Forcing Bolt, Heat‑Treated Steel

Orion Motor Tech’s OMT Front Hub and Rear Axle Puller Set is a universal flange-type tool kit designed to safely and evenly extract stuck wheel hubs and axles without damaging surrounding components.

This compact puller set delivers a simple, reliable method for separating hubs and axles on most vehicles with independent front suspension. Built from heat-treated AISI 1045 medium carbon steel with protective blackening and chrome-plated finishes on key parts, the kit pairs a range of hub diameters with a heavy-duty 5/8" x 18 forcing bolt, nut, and socket to provide dependable leverage. It’s made to grip firmly, apply straight force, and leave bearings or other nearby components undisturbed during removal.

How does the kit remove stuck front hubs safely?

The front hub puller locks onto the flange and centers force through the forcing bolt so separation happens on the hub joint instead of the axle or wheel bearing. Its flange-style grip prevents slipping while the threaded rod provides controlled, gradual extraction.

• Locks onto hub flange to prevent misalignment
• Uses a 5/8" x 18 forcing bolt for steady, even pressure
• Applies force to hub joint, protecting bearings and seals
• Works with most independent front wheel suspension designs

What parts are included and how do they fit different vehicles?

The set includes three puller ranges to accommodate a wide span of hub diameters and a universal forcing bolt that threads into the included nut and adapter socket. The variety of flange sizes makes it suitable for many passenger cars and light trucks without needing separate specialized tools.

• 3-3/4" to 4-1/2" hub puller for smaller flanges
• 4-1/2" to 5-1/2" axle puller for larger applications
• 5/8" x 18 forcing bolt with fastening nut for reliable threading
• Socket included to speed nut tightening and removal

How durable is the puller set and will it handle repeated use?

Manufactured from AISI 1045 medium carbon steel and heat treated where needed, the components are made to resist bending and wear common with hub and axle extraction. Exterior finishes—blackened surfaces and chrome plating—help prevent corrosion so parts remain serviceable after heavy and repeated shop use.

• Heat-treated medium carbon steel core for strength
• Blackened and chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Threading compatible with other 5/8" x 18 adapters for versatility
• Engineered to maintain alignment under high load

How quickly can I get a hub or axle separated using this set?

With the correct setup, the kit significantly reduces removal time compared with improvised methods. The forcing bolt and socket let you apply controlled torque so hubs break free steadily rather than suddenly, saving time and lowering the risk of damage.

• Socket-ready forcing bolt speeds tightening and release
• Controlled, straight-line force prevents binding and jerks
• Works quickly on corroded or frozen hub joints when used properly
• Reduces need for additional heating or prying in many cases

Who is this for: The Orion Motor Tech OMT Front Hub and Rear Axle Puller Set is aimed at DIY mechanics, home garage enthusiasts, and professional technicians who service passenger cars and light trucks. If you routinely need to remove wheel hubs, axles, or flange assemblies—especially on vehicles with independent front suspension—this kit provides a durable, reusable solution that reduces risk of collateral damage and speeds repair jobs.
