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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this puller will fit my wheel hub or axle flange?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront high-profile puller PCD: 100–118 mm (4.00–4.65\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRear 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-lug measurement: adjacent hole center distance 62–72 mm front, 65–80 mm rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot compatible with many 6-lug front configurations due to bolt interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat tools and steps are needed to remove a hub or axle flange safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstall puller using existing lug studs and supplied fastening nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTighten forcing bolt evenly for a straight, centered pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a slide hammer with the rear puller for heavy corrosion or seized flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect hub, bearing and seals after removal before reinstalling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit save time and prevent damage compared with improvised methods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides axial, centered pulling to avoid bent studs and damaged bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with 4-, 5- and many 6-bolt stud designs on non-C lock GM axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied 5\/8\"-18 bolt threads accept other compatible tools such as slide hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFaster removal vs. chisels, pry bars or hammering the hub free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? The Socpuro Universal Hub \u0026amp; 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.\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: Can the front puller fit 6-lug hubs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The front (high-profile) puller is for most 4- and 5-lug hubs; many 6-lug front patterns interfere with the tool and are not supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need extra tools to use the kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: You can use the supplied bolt and sockets for most jobs, but a slide hammer is recommended for stubborn rear flange removals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Socpuro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55165830267223,"sku":"B0C49KSRHF","price":59.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/socpuro-front-hub-puller-front-view.jpg?v=1790358304","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/socpuro-wheel-bearing-puller-kit-universal-front-rear-flange-pullers-2-pack-front-4-5-8-rear-5-2-3","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
