🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper tool selection for removing press-fit components like bearings • How hammers and mallets transfer force compared to pullers • Risk of damage to the shaft or bearing seat when using impact tools

đź’­ Think About

• Which tool applies a steady pulling force instead of sharp impact blows? • Which choice is specifically designed to grip and draw a tight-fitting part off a shaft? • If you wanted to avoid bending the shaft or brinelling (damaging) the bearing, which type of tool would you avoid?

âś… Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a pulling tool, not a striking tool • Eliminate all tools that work primarily by hitting the part directly • Consider which tool is commonly used in mechanical shops for removing gears, pulleys, or bearings from shafts
