FAQs
What types of bearings can this kit be used for?
The kit is designed for extracting and installing silent bearings, hydraulic bearings, bearing bushes, ball bearings, shaft seals, and rubber bearings.
Do I need a workshop press to use this kit?
While the kit can be used individually for some tasks, a workshop press of suitable size is recommended for heavier-duty applications to ensure safe and effective operation.
How do I select the correct press sleeve?
Choose a sleeve whose outer diameter fits snugly against the bearing or seal's outer edge, and whose inner diameter is large enough to allow the component to pass through or be supported without damage. The sleeve should distribute pressure evenly.
What is the size range of the press sleeves?
The 20 press sleeves have inside diameters ranging from 34mm to 72mm and outside diameters ranging from 44mm to 82mm, in 2mm diameter steps.
Are the pulling spindles different lengths?
All four M-thread pulling spindles (M10, M12, M14, M16) have a total length of 450mm, including nuts and thrust bearings.
How should I maintain the tool kit?
Clean components after use, lightly oil the pulling spindles to prevent rust, and store everything in the provided blow-molded case.
What vehicles is this kit suitable for?
It is suitable for all cars, LCV (Light Commercial Vehicles), and HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles).
Troubleshooting
Spindle threads not engaging smoothly
Clean the spindle threads and the corresponding nut. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads.
Sleeve does not fit the bearing correctly
Double-check the inside and outside diameters of the press sleeves against the dimensions of the bearing and housing. Select the closest matching size that provides adequate support without interfering with the component.
Excessive force required, potential for damage
Ensure the component is being pressed straight. If resistance is too high, consider using a workshop press. Verify that no obstructions are present and the correct sleeve size is being used.
Thrust bearing on spindle is stiff
Clean the thrust bearing and apply a light machine oil or grease. Ensure no debris is caught in the bearing mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack all components from the blow-molded case and verify against the included inventory (if provided).
Select the appropriate spindle and corresponding press sleeve for the bearing, bush, or seal you intend to service.
Ensure the spindle threads are clean and lightly lubricated before use.
For press operations, position the sleeve squarely against the component and the vehicle part.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for universal application across all cars, LCV (Light Commercial Vehicles), and HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles).
It is compatible with most standard workshop presses. Individual components can be used without a press, provided sufficient leverage and stability can be achieved.
Care:
After each use, clean all components with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
Apply a light coat of oil to the pulling spindles to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Store all parts in the designated slots within the blow-molded case to prevent loss and damage.
Periodically check the thrust bearings on the spindles for smooth rotation. Lubricate if necessary.
