Sierra Gimbal Puller Tool 18-79820-2 for Mercruiser Specialty Service
The Sierra Gimbal Puller Tool 18-79820-2 is a specialty service tool built for marine technicians and DIY boat owners working on Mercruiser stern drive applications. As a purpose-built puller, it is designed to apply controlled, even force when separating gimbal housing components during drive service, helping avoid the damage that can result from improvised methods like pry bars or hammers. The tool is finished in Sierra's durable construction standard for shop tools that see repeated use in a marine service environment.
At 7.6 pounds, this is a substantial, heavy-duty tool built for leverage and durability rather than a lightweight accessory. It ships in package dimensions of 12.8 x 5.5 x 4.2 inches, making it compact enough for a service bench or tool chest while still providing the mass needed for effective pulling force. As a Sierra-branded specialty tool, it is intended to be added to a marine technician's toolkit alongside other drive-service equipment for jobs that call for precise, controlled disassembly.
