Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate collet for the bearing size. Ensure the collet's internal diameter is a snug fit against the inner diameter of the bearing.
- Insert the selected collet into the bearing housing, ensuring it grips the inner race of the bearing.
- Attach the slide hammer to the collet.
- Use the slide hammer by pulling the weight back and then striking it forward to create an impact.
Compatibility: This set is designed for bearings with internal diameters ranging from 11mm to 32mm. It is most effective when the collet can grip the *internal* diameter of the bearing race. It is not suitable for bearings with external diameters that exceed the capacity of the collets or for bearings where external access is available.
Care:
- After use, clean the collets and slide hammer to remove any dirt or debris.
- Apply a light coating of oil to metal parts to prevent rust, especially if stored for extended periods.
- Store all components securely in the provided case to prevent loss or damage.
