This kit is primarily designed for the removal of seized floating brake discs on Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), specifically DAF, Renault, and Volvo models.

Yes, this kit requires a separate hydraulic pump. It is designed to work with the Laser Tools Air Powered Hydraulic Pump (Part No. 7862) or the Hydraulic Hand Pump (Part No. 7861).

The kit features 14-tonne hydraulic rams, providing significant force for demanding applications.

Yes, it can be used for pushing off stuck wheels where sufficient access permits, in addition to its primary function with brake discs.

The ram body has a fixed height of 83mm and can extend by 45mm.

The kit includes two hydraulic hoses, each measuring 100mm in length.

While powerful, the kit is specifically designed and marketed for HGVs. Its application on lighter vehicles may be limited by size and specific brake system designs.

Check hydraulic fluid level in the pump. Ensure connections between hoses, control block, and pump are secure and free from leaks. Verify the pump is functioning correctly.

Ensure rams are positioned correctly and making even contact. Check that individual control valves are functioning as expected and that there are no blockages in the hydraulic lines.

Confirm that the 14-tonne capacity is sufficient for the task. Ensure the pump is delivering adequate pressure. Check for additional seizing factors like rust or damage that may require alternative methods or more force.

Inspect hose fittings and pump/control block ports for damage or debris. Clean any obstructions. If fittings are damaged, the hose may need replacement.
