This Laser GEN2 Wheel Bearing Kit is for mechanics working on specific VAG models (Audi A2, VW Fox/Polo, Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia/Roomster) with 72mm PAS-equipped wheel bearings. Its key benefit is enabling the removal and fitting of integrated bearing and drive flange units without separating them, using specialized tools. A key caveat is the need for specific tools, as the combined hub and bearing require specialized removal and fitting procedures.

'GEN2' refers to the second generation of wheel bearing design, specifically those where the wheel bearing and the drive flange (hub) are a single, integrated unit that cannot be separated. This design requires specialized tools for removal and installation.
This specific 72mm kit is designed for VAG models including Audi A2, Volkswagen Fox and Polo, Seat Ibiza, and Skoda Fabia and Roomster, provided they are equipped with PAS and the correct bearing size.
Yes, this kit is part of a system that requires specialized tools designed for the removal and fitting of integrated GEN2 wheel bearings. The kit itself contains specific adaptors and pressing components, but a suitable press or appropriate leverage mechanism is also needed.
No, the integrated design means the hub and bearing are a single unit. This kit is used to remove and install that combined unit from the steering knuckle.
Lubrication of the threaded bar and thrust bearing with molybdenum disulphide grease is critical. It ensures the tool operates smoothly, prevents seizing, reduces wear on the tool and components, and allows for the necessary force to be applied safely and effectively.
Yes, replacement spares are available for this Laser wheel bearing kit, allowing for continued use and maintenance of the tool.
The kit includes an extraction adaptor designed to remove the bearing without needing to remove the ABS sensor. Ensure you are using the correct adaptor and applying force evenly. If the sensor is still proving difficult, inspect the area for debris or corrosion.
Ensure the threaded bar and thrust bearing have been adequately lubricated with molybdenum disulphide grease. Check for any obstructions or debris in the bearing housing or on the tool.
Verify that the correct 72mm kit is being used for the vehicle's bearing size. Ensure the bearing housing is clean and free of corrosion or damage. The specialized pressing force must be applied evenly.
Double-check that the extraction adaptor was used correctly and that no lateral force was applied to the ABS sensor during the process. The kit is designed to prevent this, but user error can still occur.
Ensure proper lubrication before each use and clean all components after use. Avoid using excessive force beyond what is necessary for the task, and always use the correct application for the tool.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for GEN2 wheel bearings with a 72mm diameter, found on certain VAG models including Audi A2, Volkswagen Fox and Polo, Seat Ibiza, and Skoda Fabia and Roomster, particularly those equipped with PAS. Always verify the bearing size and vehicle model before use.
Setup: Before use, it is critical to lubricate the threaded bar and thrust bearing with a high-quality molybdenum disulphide grease. This ensures smooth operation of the tool and prevents damage to the tool or the vehicle components during removal and fitting.
Care: After use, clean the components of the kit thoroughly and store them in their original case or a secure tool chest. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage before the next use. Ensure all components are dry before storage to prevent corrosion. Replacement spares are available for wear items.
