Precision Bearing Race Punch 9/16in Tip

The Mayhew 24551 is a dedicated steel punch for driving out bearing races in automotive and industrial hubs. Its 9/16-inch tip targets the narrow shoulders common on light-truck and passenger-car bearings. The 14-inch overall length gives leverage while keeping the user's hand clear of the hammer strike zone.

Capacity and Headroom

The half-inch hex shank fits standard impact sockets or can be struck directly with a heavy hammer. Steel construction withstands repeated high-force blows without mushrooming. The fixed tip diameter limits use to races with an inside lip of 9/16 inch or larger; smaller races need a narrower punch.

Upgrade Path

This tool replaces improvised drift pins, chisels or oversized sockets that damage race seats and risk flying shards. The jump is worth it whenever a shop services wheel bearings regularly and needs a controlled, repeatable method to remove races without harming the hub bore.

Questions about this item

Will the 14.300 in length and 9/16 in tip clear the bearing races on my older press?

The punch measures 14.300 in long with a 9/16 in tip and a 1/2 in hex, so check your press opening and race diameter against those dimensions.

How can I verify the 1/2 in hex engages properly after I start using the punch?

The hex should seat fully in your driver or wrench without rounding; a snug fit and no slippage under load show it is working as intended.

Does the box contain anything besides the one-piece steel punch with part number 24551?

The product is a single 1-piece steel bearing race punch; no additional accessories or tether points are included.
