Targeted Bearing Race Removal
This Mayhew punch uses a 1/2in tip to drive out bearing races in automotive hubs and industrial housings. The 10in length gives reach into deep bores while the 7/16in hex shank fits a standard wrench for controlled impact. It is built for technicians who need a single-purpose tool for press-fit race extraction.
Single-Piece Steel Limits
The one-piece steel construction resists mushrooming but transmits full shock to the user's hand and wrench. The fixed 1/2in tip cannot adapt to larger or smaller race diameters, so a separate punch is required for each size. The tool is not tether-capable, ruling out drop-prevention systems mandated at height.
Upgrade from Improvised Drifts
It replaces makeshift drifts, chisels or socket extensions that damage race seats and slip under load. The hardened tip and precise diameter protect the bore while delivering axial force. The jump is worth it when repeatable, damage-free removal outweighs the cost of a dedicated single-size punch.

Questions about this item
Which tip size suits the bearing races I need to remove?
The 1/2 in tip matches the punch specification; select it when the race inner diameter accepts a half-inch driver.
What does the 10 in length mean when I am working in a tight hub?
Ten inches of overall reach lets the punch clear deep-set races while keeping your hand clear of the hammer swing.
How does the 7/16 in hex shank limit the tools I can use with it?
The 7/16 in hex fits standard 7/16 in wrenches or impact sockets, so only those drive sizes will engage the punch securely.
