Compared on paper

Specifications are manufacturer stated, as published on each listing and collected 1 November 2026.

How the points were given

Each puller is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with performance counting most and warranty counting least. A listing that states its steel, its hub sizes and its warranty earns more than one that leaves those figures out.

Shop Scores range from a low of 9.2 to a high of 9.8, with each tool positioned by its weighted points proportionally, and more points always yields a higher score. A tool with no power source and no listed safety feature has safety removed, and the score is taken over 90 points.

What the listings tell you

Each listing here fits power steering pump pulleys, and most state the same hub sizes: 1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-5/16 and 1-3/8 in. The kits differ in what else they state: steel grade, thread sizes, case and warranty. The OMT listing calls its kit a 7-piece set while listing a remover, an installer, 2 forcing screws, 1 sleeve, 2 puller jaws and a disconnect tool, and the DNA listing gives no warranty term, only a note to contact the seller.

Buying guide: best pulley puller for power steering pump

Hub sizes first

Match the hub sizes to the pump in front of you. The hub sizes stated here are 1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-5/16 and 1-3/8 in, and each kit except the DNA one states the same set. A kit that does not state hub sizes leaves the fit open, so check the listing before ordering.

Puller and installer in one kit

A puller alone takes the pulley off; the installer presses it back on. Each kit here includes a remover and an installer, so one kit covers removal and installation.

Steel and build

Steel grade matters when a pulley is pressed on tight. The OMT listing states AISI 1045 medium carbon steel, heat treated and blackened; the limontek listing states high-strength steel, heat-treated; the JEUCLEL and DNA listings state carbon steel. The Siapupy listing names no steel grade.

Case and storage

Each kit here comes in a case: blow-molded cases for the OMT and Siapupy kits, a rugged carrying case for the limontek kit, a sturdy storage case for the JEUCLEL kit and a plastic carrying case for the DNA kit. A case keeps the jaws, screws and sleeve together between jobs.

Warranty

The OMT, Siapupy and JEUCLEL listings state a 1 year warranty; the limontek listing states 3 months; the DNA listing states no term and says to contact the seller. A stated term is part of the value of the kit.

Garage Fit Check

• Check the hub sizes on the pump before ordering: the kits here fit 1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-5/16 and 1-3/8 in hubs, except the DNA kit, which states no hub sizes.
• Make room for the case: the OMT case measures 9.0 by 8.0 by 2.0 in, and each kit here comes in a case.
• Keep the threads oiled: the limontek and JEUCLEL listings say to lubricate the screw threads before use.
• Check the warranty term in the listing: 1 year on the OMT, Siapupy and JEUCLEL kits, 3 months on the limontek kit, and no term stated on the DNA kit.

FAQ: garage tools

How do you use a power steering pulley puller?

Lubricate the tool first, as the JEUCLEL and limontek listings say. Place the threaded screw in the center of the pulley, engage the crescent-shaped clamping shell and lip retainer, place the gripping nut center piece on top, tighten the threaded bolt to the center of the puller nut end, then loosen and remove the pulley with a ratchet, crescent wrench or pneumatic gun. The installer presses the pulley back on.

How does a pulley puller work?

The puller grips the hub of the pulley while a forcing screw draws the pulley off the pump shaft, and the installer presses the pulley back on. The jaws hold the pulley while the screw does the work.

What size pulley puller do I need for a power steering pump?

One that fits the hub on the pump. The kits here fit hubs of 1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-5/16 and 1-3/8 in, except the DNA kit, which states no hub sizes. Check the hub on the pump before ordering.

Can a pulley puller install a pulley as well as remove one?

Yes, when the kit includes an installer. Each kit here includes a remover and an installer, with forcing screws and a sleeve, so the same kit takes the pulley off and presses it back on.

Do I need to lubricate a pulley puller?

Yes, before use. The limontek listing says to lubricate screw threads before each use, and the JEUCLEL listing says to lubricate the tool first. Lubrication keeps the threads turning freely under load.
