FAQs

What specific Ford Transit models is this tool set compatible with?

This tool set is designed for Ford Transit front wheel bearing and disc removal on models manufactured from the year 2000 onwards.

Can this tool set be used to install the new bearing?

This tool set is primarily designed for the removal of the front disc and bearing assembly. Installation may require separate pressing tools or methods specific to bearing installation.

Does this kit include tools for both front wheels?

Yes, the set is designed to service the front wheel bearings and discs, typically meaning it can be used on either the left or right side as needed.

Do I need to remove the entire hub assembly from the vehicle?

No, a key benefit of this tool set is that it allows for on-vehicle service, meaning the hub assembly does not need to be fully removed for bearing and disc extraction.

How does this tool prevent damage to the drive flange?

The design of the extraction components ensures that force is applied specifically to the bearing, allowing the inner bearing ring to be pressed out without putting stress on or damaging the drive flange.

Is grinding necessary when using this tool?

No, this tool is designed to extract the inner bearing ring without the need for grinding, which can be time-consuming and potentially damage other components.

What is the purpose of the 'UK Registered Design' mark?

This indicates that the tool's design is officially registered in the UK, signifying a unique and protected design for its specific application.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not grip the bearing securely.

Ensure the correct size component is selected for the specific bearing and that it is seated squarely. Check for any obstructions or debris on the bearing surface or tool contact points.

Difficulty in pressing out the inner bearing ring.

Verify that all retaining clips or bolts are removed. Apply a penetrating lubricant to the bearing and hub interface and allow it to soak. Ensure the pressing force is applied evenly and directly.

Drive flange appears damaged after use.

This is unlikely with correct usage. Ensure the tool is not forcing the flange at an angle. Double-check that the inner bearing race is being extracted cleanly without interference.

Case latch is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any debris from the latch mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the hinge and latch points.

Pros and Cons

  • All-in-one heavy-duty metal case for organization and protection.
  • Designed specifically for Ford Transit front wheel bearings.

Cons

  • Limited to Ford Transit models (2000 onwards).
  • Requires a certain level of mechanical knowledge to use effectively.
  • Initial cost may be higher than individual tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tool set is specifically designed for Ford Transit front wheel bearing and disc removal on models from the year 2000 onwards. Always verify your vehicle's specifications before use.

Setup: No complex setup is required. The tools are designed for direct application. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported on a lift or jack stands, and the wheel is removed to access the hub assembly. Follow the specific instructions provided with the tool set for the order and method of application for each component.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean all components with a degreaser or solvent to remove brake dust, grease, and dirt. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
  2. Inspection: Regularly inspect the tools for any signs of damage, wear, or distortion. Pay close attention to the jaws and pressure points.
  3. Storage: Store all tools within the heavy-duty metal case. Ensure components are placed in their designated positions to prevent damage and loss. Keep the case in a dry environment to prevent rust.
  4. Lubrication: Lightly oil metal components prone to corrosion during long-term storage.
