This GEN2 Wheel Bearing removal kit is designed to address the issue of OEM wheel bearings lacking...This GEN2 Wheel Bearing removal kit is designed to address the issue of OEM wheel bearings lacking a central hole, which complicates removal. Replacement bearings, however, do feature a central hole, allowing for the use of a central force screw for fitting. Specifically engineered for the GEN2 design, the bearing must be installed by applying pressure solely to the outer bearing race. The kit facilitates the removal of original bearings and the installation of new ones using a force screw, simplifying the replacement process on the vehicle. It is Made in Sheffield and is an EU Registered Design. Always lubricate the force screw with Molybdenum Disulphide grease. Applicable models include Citron Jumpy & SpaceTourer (from 2016), Peugeot Expert & Traveller (from 2016), Toyota Proace & Proace Verso (from 2016), and Vauxhall Opel Vivaro (from 2019).
This guide is for mechanics and vehicle owners working with Citroen, Peugeot, Toyota, and Vauxhall/Opel vehicles. It helps users understand and effectively use the Laser Rear Wheel Bearing Removal & Insertion Kit - PSA (MPN: 8356) for removing and installing rear wheel bearings. A key benefit is the simplified removal and installation of GEN2 wheel bearings. Note that proper lubrication of the force screw is essential for optimal performance and longevity.
