Universal Piston Pin Extractor

Safely Extract Piston Pins Without the Stress (or the Damage)

Protect your high-dollar pistons with the PPE-1 Universal Piston Pin Extractor.

Stop risking piston distortion during teardowns. The PPE-1 is the professional’s solution for removing interference-fit piston pins safely and efficiently. Designed for use with your existing shop press, this universal fixture eliminates the guesswork and danger of improvised methods, ensuring the force is applied exactly where it needs to be—and nowhere it shouldn’t.

Why the PPE-1 is Essential for Your Shop:

Zero Piston Stress: The unique design supports the connecting rod directly, meaning the piston itself is never placed under pressure. This critical feature prevents the distortion, cracking, or skirt damage common with standard press-out methods.
Universal Versatility: Whether you are working on a standard rebuild or a custom high-performance engine, the PPE-1 adapts to your needs. Support fixtures can be altered where needed for best results. With a range of support fixtures and drifts included, this kit covers the vast majority of automotive applications.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built for the daily grind of a busy machine shop, the fixture base block is machined from solid 4" x 4" x 0.75" steel, providing a rigid, unwavering foundation for pressing operations.
Complete Kit: No hunting for extra adapters. The PPE-1 comes fully loaded with everything you need to get to work immediately, including multiple fixture sizes, pressing drifts, and the necessary hardware.

Professional Tech Tip:
