The UP-1 combines balanced four-rod pulling, a robust center drive, and an alignment guide with sight holes to make setup straightforward and removal predictable. It fits hubs with a 1-7\/8\" outer diameter and works with either a wrench or hex key, so it's ready for both field repairs and bench work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the UP-1 keep fan blades and wheels from getting damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UP-1 uses four equidistant pull rods that distribute force evenly around the hub, reducing side load and minimizing distortion. Sight holes and the included alignment tool help center the puller before force is applied, preventing off-axis pulls that can bend blades. The controlled 5\/8\" center shaft lets you apply steady pressure rather than sudden shocks, protecting the assembly during removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour pull rods for balanced, even pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlignment tool and sight holes for accurate centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8\" steel center shaft for smooth, steady force transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with wrench or hex key to avoid impact-style pulling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and applications does this wheel hub puller fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UP-1 is engineered to fit blower wheel and fan blade hubs with a 1-7\/8\" outer diameter, a common size on many residential and light commercial units. While designed for blower wheels and fan blades, the balanced four-rod design works for similar hub removal tasks where the hub geometry matches. It’s ideal for HVAC service, motor maintenance, and shop repairs where preserving delicate fins or wheel surfaces matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits hubs with 1-7\/8\" outer diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for blower wheels, fan blades, and similar hub assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for HVAC, motor service, and workshop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperable with common hand tools (wrench or hex key)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable and repeatable is the UP-1 for professional use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from heavy-duty steel, the UP-1 resists bending and wear during repeated pulls, making it suitable for busy service trucks and shop benches. The 5\/8\" center shaft provides solid engagement with the driven tool, so technicians can apply steady torque without the tool failing under load. Its rugged build and simple components keep maintenance minimal and performance consistent over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty steel construction for repeated shop and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8\" shaft for reliable drive engagement under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced pull rods reduce risk of tool deformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple, serviceable design for long-term dependability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? The Sensible Products UP-1 is aimed at HVAC technicians, maintenance professionals, and serious DIYers who frequently remove blower wheels or fan blades and need a tool that reduces risk of damage while speeding up service. If you work on motors, blowers, or ventilation fans and want a compact, heavy-duty puller that centers itself and accepts common hand tools, the UP-1 provides a practical, repeatable solution for routine and difficult removals alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the UP-1 fit other hub sizes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The UP-1 is made for hubs with a 1-7\/8\" outer diameter; it may not suit significantly larger or smaller hubs without adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What tools do I need to operate this puller?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Use a standard wrench or hex key to drive the 5\/8\" center shaft; no impact tools are required for proper operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Sensible Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169028030807,"sku":"B001CGFQDW","price":74.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/sensible-products-up-1-front-view.jpg?v=1790417123","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/sensible-products-up-1-hub-puller-1-7-8-fan-blower-wheel-puller-heavy-duty-steel-4-rod","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
