Troubleshooting

Driver collar does not fit the bearing race.

Ensure you have selected the correct driver collar size from the 10 available options. Refer to the bearing or seal specifications if needed.

Difficulty driving the race or seal.

Verify that the race or seal is properly aligned in the housing and that the driver collar is seated squarely on its outer edge. Apply steady, even pressure. Ensure the correct size collar is being used.

Knurled grip feels slippery.

Wipe both the grip and your hands dry before use. If excessive force is required, consider using gloves for added grip.
