Product Specifications
Technical Overview: This impeller puller is a professional marine tool designed for the safe and controlled removal of rubber impellers from small marine water pumps. The tool eliminates the risk of scoring bronze pump housings or damaging the pump shaft during impeller removal.
Key Features:
• Material: Investment-cast 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
• Self-adjusting jaws for centered and even extraction
• Designed for rubber impellers with diameters between 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" (approximately 57–64 mm)
• Prevents the use of screwdrivers or pliers that can damage internal pump surfaces
User Operation Tips:
• Clean the impeller hub area to remove salt or debris before use
• Apply a small amount of marine grease or lubricant to the puller screw for smoother operation and longer tool life
• Ensure the jaws grip the metal hub of the impeller, not only the rubber vanes, to avoid tearing
Compatibility Notes:
This impeller puller is intended for small marine water pumps only. It is not suitable for large impellers used on Cummins K Series, QSM11, or 6CTA engines, where impeller diameters typically exceed 3 inches.
