Its primary use is to provide a stable and adaptable support for pressing bearings, bushes, and other suspension components, particularly during removal or installation with a workshop press.
The three-point contact system ensures the component is held securely and evenly, preventing it from shifting or becoming unstable under the pressure of the press, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
Due to its universal design with multiple threaded drillings and adjustable support bars, it is designed to accommodate a wide variety of suspension arm shapes and sizes.
No, this is a support block accessory designed to be used in conjunction with a separate workshop press.
The aluminium base plate measures 200mm x 70mm x 40mm.
You can adjust the support positions by unscrewing and repositioning the support bars within the various threaded drillings on the base plate and multi-hole block.
The packing block adds versatility and can be used to adjust heights or provide additional support, but its use depends on the specific component and desired setup.
Reconfigure the support bars using different threaded drillings to achieve a more secure three-point contact. Ensure all bars are firmly in place.
Adjust the spacing and angle of the support bars. Experiment with different combinations of threaded holes to find the optimal fit for the specific component's shape.
Ensure the support block is positioned correctly beneath the component and that the press ram is aligned squarely. Check for any obstructions on the component or support. A penetrating oil may also help.
Verify that the base plate is on a level surface and that the component is balanced correctly on the support. Ensure the three contact points are firmly established.
Setup: To set up the support block, first place it on the base of your workshop press. Identify the component you need to press. Arrange the support bars within the multi-hole block to create a stable cradle for the component, ensuring three-point contact. Utilize the threaded drillings to secure the support bars in your desired configuration. Place the component onto the support block and align it with the press ram. Engage the lateral safety device if applicable for added security.
Compatibility: This tool is designed to be compatible with most standard workshop presses. Its universal design, featuring numerous threaded drillings, allows it to adapt to a wide variety of suspension arms, hubs, and other automotive components where bearing or bush removal is required.
Care: After use, clean the aluminium base plate and support bars with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any grease or debris. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the threaded drillings for any obstructions to ensure smooth setup.
