About: I am a owner of a small fleet of semi trucks operating withing the Southern region of the USA.

We made use of a heavy duty push puller with bearing splitter to remove a stubborn yoke because we did not have immediate access to the industry highly used Tiger Tool yoke puller.

Supplies

Bearing splitter; Push pull tool; two crescent wrenches; and WD 40

Thoroughly lubricate all bolts; Place bearing splitter around the yoke and tighten it securely with nuts to clamp down

Step 2:

Screw the push puller into the bearing splitter and tighten metal braces against cross member.
