No, one of the primary benefits of this kit is that it allows for bearing replacement while the strut assembly and steering knuckle remain in place.
No, because the suspension geometry remains undisturbed during the bearing replacement, a subsequent alignment is typically not required.
The bolt is a 7/8 inch grade 8 unit, which offers significantly higher tensile strength and durability compared to standard puller bolts.
Wipe the tools with a light oil after use to prevent moisture accumulation and preserve the corrosion-resistant coating.
The kit is highly versatile and fits a vast range of vehicles, though some unique or heavy-duty commercial axle sizes may fall outside the provided range.
Stop immediately, clean the threads, and apply fresh high-pressure grease to the bolt and thrust bearing.
Double-check the diameter of the sleeves and plates to ensure you are using the correct set for the specific vehicle bore size.
To ensure success, always select the plate and sleeve combination that closest matches the diameter of your specific wheel bearing assembly. Ensure the drive bolt is adequately lubricated with high-pressure grease before use to extend its lifespan and reduce friction during operation. When finished, clean the components thoroughly to remove debris and store them in the provided molded case to prevent component loss. Periodically check the drive bolt for thread wear; while it is a heavy-duty component, regular cleaning and inspection maintain optimal performance.
