I’m sure he knows steels better than me, but I can’t help wondering whether this is an accident in waiting.
A lot of work, only to have it shatter the first time he uses it. The concept is valid though for a wide jaw puller. it might last a while longer if he were to cut a couple of crescent shapes and weld them to the back side of the bearing races. The heat from welding along the entire perimeter will serve to anneal some of the brittleness out of the race while the extra steel of the added stiffener will make it a more useful tool. but he has another problem that being, the all-thread rod if he didn't use B7 stud grade rod the threads will wear quickly, or the rod will bend.Quote:

The puller in this case will either break or bend long before he has to worry about thread wear.Quote:

Not all tools need to be of Rolls Royce quality as many of your own testify to. I agree that the puller in question leaves much to be desired and I would expect it to be next to useless.

I hear you Tony: Anytime I use hardware store threaded rod though I always figure the tool is very temporary at best or more probably going to be a one-time use tool, unless I over size it. I have a habit of abusing the things I make LOL
