Socpuro Wheel Bearing Puller Kit — Universal Front & Rear Flange Pullers, 2-Pack (Front 4-5/8" Rear 5-2/3")

Socpuro Universal Front Wheel Bearing Puller and Rear Axle Flange Remover is a two-piece, flange-type hub and axle puller set designed to extract front hubs (up to 4-5/8") and rear flange axles (up to 5-2/3") safely and evenly without harming the hub or surrounding components.

This compact kit brings a workshop-style flange puller solution to home garages and professional bays. Built for flange-style wheel hubs and axle flanges, the set includes a front hub puller, a rear axle puller, a 5/8"-18 forcing bolt, sockets and a fastening nut so you can apply even axial force to remove stuck hubs, bearings or axle flanges. The pullers are compatible across common 4- and 5-lug patterns and many 6-lug rear applications within specified PCD ranges; follow the fit guidelines below to confirm compatibility.

How do I confirm this puller will fit my wheel hub or axle flange?

Compatibility depends on the bolt circle (PCD) and whether the caliper is high- or low-profile. Measure the center-to-center distance across bolt holes or check your vehicle specifications to match the kit’s supported ranges. Note that the front (high-profile) puller is optimized for common 4- and 5-lug configurations, while the rear (low-profile) puller covers larger PCDs including many 6-lug rear flanges.

• Front high-profile puller PCD: 100–118 mm (4.00–4.65")
• Rear low-profile puller PCD: 110–144 mm (4.33–5.67") for 5-lug and 114–144 mm (4.5–5.67") for 4-lug/6-lug variations
• 5-lug measurement: adjacent hole center distance 62–72 mm front, 65–80 mm rear
• Not compatible with many 6-lug front configurations due to bolt interference

What tools and steps are needed to remove a hub or axle flange safely?

The Socpuro kit is designed to use existing wheel studs and the supplied 5/8"-18 forcing bolt to create a straight pull. For stubborn rear flanges, pairing the rear puller with a slide hammer is recommended to add impact force safely. Always support the vehicle securely, back off the brake components as needed, and follow torque guidance when reassembling.

• Install puller using existing lug studs and supplied fastening nut
• Tighten forcing bolt evenly for a straight, centered pull
• Use a slide hammer with the rear puller for heavy corrosion or seized flanges
• Inspect hub, bearing and seals after removal before reinstalling

Will this kit save time and prevent damage compared with improvised methods?

Yes — the flange-type puller concentrates force on the hub’s flange and forces the hub straight off the taper, reducing side-loads that can damage bearings or studs. The included forcing bolt and sockets let you apply controlled pressure rather than hammering around the hub, which can distort components or introduce alignment issues.

• Provides axial, centered pulling to avoid bent studs and damaged bearings
• Works with 4-, 5- and many 6-bolt stud designs on non-C lock GM axles
• Supplied 5/8"-18 bolt threads accept other compatible tools such as slide hammers
• Faster removal vs. chisels, pry bars or hammering the hub free

Who is this for? The Socpuro Universal Hub & Axle Puller set is made for DIY mechanics, independent shops and fleet technicians who need a reliable, portable method to remove flange-type front hubs and rear axles without specialized hydraulic presses. If you service common passenger cars, light trucks, or many GM axle types and want to reduce removal time while protecting wheel bearings and studs, this kit is a practical addition to your tool inventory. Always verify your vehicle’s PCD and lug pattern against the kit ranges before purchase, and use a slide hammer for safer, more efficient rear flange removals when necessary.
