Laser Tools has introduced the Adjustable Pulley Puller (part number 9231), engineered to remove auxiliary drive pulleys that run ribbed (serpentine) belts quickly, safely and without damaging the pulley or shaft.
The Adjustable Pulley Puller’s left and right-hand threaded clamping mechanism ensures the toothed clamps close evenly around the pulley rim, so the central force screw remains concentric with the shaft. This delivers a true, straight pull every time.
Ideal for modern accessory-drive systems where space is tight and damage to the pulley faces or shafts must be avoided, the Adjustable Pulley Puller is built for professional workshops, mobile technicians and fleet maintenance teams.
Benefits of the Adjustable Pulley Puller
- Balanced clamping action: opposing threads force the clamp arms to close evenly, keeping the pull force aligned with the pulley shaft and reducing the chance of angled loads or slipping.
- Pulley diameter range: 68 mm — 125 mm.
- Protects components: toothed clamps grip pulleys securely without marking driven surfaces; ball-ended force screw prevents gouging of the shaft.
- Versatile coverage: suitable for water pump pulleys, alternator pulleys, air-conditioning pulleys, crankshaft accessories and other ribbed-belt pulleys across many makes and models.
- Robust construction: manufactured from heat-treated C45 carbon steel (EN8) for strength and durability under repeated workshop use.
Usage & best practice
- Always centre the tool on the pulley and ensure the toothed clamps are seated securely before applying load.
- Use a suitable socket or drive on the force screw and apply steady, controlled force.
- After removal, inspect the pulley bore and shaft for wear or damage before refitting.
- Lubricate the force screw and clamping threads with molybdenum disulphide or similar high-load grease before use to protect the tool and ensure smooth, reliable operation.
The Laser 9231 Adjustable Pulley Puller delivers controlled extraction, reduced risk of component damage and dependable workshop durability. It is a smart addition to any technician’s toolbox when working with ribbed-belt accessory pulleys. Available now for purchase from your Laser Tools stockist and online retailers.
