Forged from hardened alloy steel, each half has tapered, sharp edges that slide between assemblies, while threaded holes accept mechanical or hydraulic puller attachments for controlled removal. Zinc plating on the bodies and black oxide on the hardware resist corrosion, extending on-tool life in busy shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 57BS5 get between tightly fitted parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bearing separator uses two matched halves with acute, angled cutting edges that wedge into narrow gaps between a bearing and its housing. Once positioned, the halves clamp together to present a uniform pulling surface so force can be applied evenly without slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharp, angled edges designed to enter tight seams quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision-matched halves create a stable gripping surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks in shallow or confined spaces where prying might damage components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat attachments and pullers work with this bearing splitter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 57BS5 includes threaded holes on each half so you can use it with two-leg mechanical pullers, hydraulic pullers or sliding-beam setups.
