Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools Front Wheel Bearing Overhaul Kit (Part No: 7109) is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on Ford Transit vehicles (2000-2012) and Transit Custom models (2012 onwards). Its primary benefit is the efficient removal of the front bearing/disc assembly from the hub and the separation of the disc from the bearing, simplifying a complex maintenance task. A key consideration is the need for kit 7122 for post-2014 Transits, which must be used in conjunction with 7109. The kit features a robust threaded force screw and includes molybdenum disulphide grease for smooth operation.

FAQs

What vehicles is this kit compatible with?

This kit (7109) is designed for Ford Transit vehicles from 2000 to 2012 and Transit Custom vehicles from 2012 onwards.

Do I need any other tools to use this kit?

While this kit is specialized, you will need standard mechanic's tools to remove the wheel and potentially other components as per the vehicle's service manual. For post-2014 Transits, you also need Kit 7122.

What is the purpose of the molybdenum disulphide grease?

The grease is essential for lubricating the threaded force screw. It ensures smooth operation under high pressure, prevents the screw from seizing, and extends the life of the tool.

Can I use this kit on other vehicle makes or models?

No, this kit is specifically designed for the front wheel bearing overhaul of the specified Ford Transit and Transit Custom models. Using it on other vehicles may cause damage to the tool or the vehicle.

What should I do if the force screw is damaged?

If the force screw is damaged, you can order a replacement. The part number for the replacement Force Screw is 1727.

Is this kit suitable for removing the wheel hub?

This kit is designed for the removal of the front bearing/disc assembly from the hub and the separation of the disc from the bearing, not for the removal of the entire hub assembly itself.

What does 'EU Registered Design' mean?

This indicates that the design of the tool has been officially registered within the European Union, signifying its unique or innovative design features.

Troubleshooting

Force screw is difficult to turn or seizes

Ensure the force screw has been adequately lubricated with the supplied molybdenum disulphide grease. Clean any debris from the threads and reapply grease. Check for any signs of damage to the screw threads.

Tool does not engage properly with the hub/bearing

Verify that the tool is compatible with the specific Ford Transit model and year. Consult the vehicle's repair manual for correct tool positioning and application method. Ensure no obstructions are preventing proper fitment.

Bearing disc is not separating from the bearing cleanly

Ensure the force screw is correctly aligned and applying even pressure. Re-lubricate the force screw. If the disc is heavily corroded, it may require additional penetrating oil applied to the interface before attempting separation.

The kit does not fit post-2014 Transit models

This kit (7109) is not designed for post-2014 Transit models. You will need to use Laser Tools Kit 7122 in conjunction with Kit 7109 for these vehicles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for:

  • Ford Transit vehicles manufactured between 2000 and 2012.
  • Ford Transit Custom vehicles manufactured from 2012 onwards.

*Note*: For Ford Transit vehicles manufactured after 2014, Laser Tools Kit 7122 is required and must be used in conjunction with this kit (7109). Both kits are available separately.

Setup & Use:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported with the wheel removed.
  2. Apply a generous amount of the supplied molybdenum disulphide grease to the threaded force screw before each use. This is critical for smooth operation and preventing damage.
  3. Position the tool as per the specific vehicle repair manual instructions to engage the hub and bearing assembly.
  4. Slowly tighten the force screw to apply pressure and remove the bearing/disc assembly.
  5. Use the tool to separate the disc from the bearing once removed from the hub.

Care:

  • Clean the tool thoroughly after each use.
  • Reapply molybdenum disulphide grease to the force screw after cleaning and before storage.
  • Store the kit in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Inspect the force screw for wear or damage periodically. A replacement force screw (Part No: 1727) is available.
