I am eyeing a job that would involve pulling large gears off their

This being the United States of America, I am sure that commercial
solutions have been developed for that kind of thing. I wonder what
sort of places should I call to rent some big gear pullers?

You might tell us a bit more. If you are trying to remove the gears
so they can be used again, that is one thing. If you are going to
sell them as scrap metal , that is another.

One option is to cut the shafts with a oxyacet torch and never pull the
gears at all.


I cannot cut the shafts. It involves moving a machine for a
customer. He wants some gears and does not want other gears, but he
wants the shafts.

Try Ahern. 50 ton porta power should pry them off without damage.
