Primary Parts

Set-Up Instructions

1. Set aside the foot pedal, cylinder in frame and hydraulic hose for later.
2. Use remaining two 1/4-20 x 1” bolts, washers and locking nuts to fasten Tool Box

Operating Instructions

Preparation

• Have the vehicle on a lift or jack stands with the tires removed.

• Provide clear access to the wheel hub so the PakPress unit has room to maneuver.

• Refer to Fig. 6 and connect the air supply to the hydraulic pump (reference red arrow).

• Adjust the two hex nuts on Tool #4 to approximate location shown in Fig. 8.
  The inner nut will act as a stop against the wall of the cylinder frame.

• Make the necessary adjustments with the hex nuts to align Tool #1 and Tool #4, then tighten the hex nuts to lock them in position. See Fig. 9. This will only have to be done once if done correctly.

• Fig. 9 illustrates how to line-up these parts. Once Tool #4 is located as shown, fasten wing nut to tighten into place. If these are not lined up properly, wheel studs could break and damage to the adapters or PakPress unit could occur.

Stud Removal

• Place Tool #1 in Fig. 8, firmly into threaded end of cylinder ram.
• With adapters ‘in place’, wheel the cart into hub area and adjust height of the cradle that holds the hydraulic frame.

Broken Stud Removal

• A broken stud will need a flat surface to push against. If necessary grind the broken end of the stud until flat. Follow the same instructions for stud removal but replace tool #1 in the hydraulic cylinder with #2.
• Position the frame unit over the stud being removed. Center the hydraulic frame and adapters. With the pump foot pedal apply pressure until both adapters make contact against the stud. (See Fig. 11.)
• If they center correctly and make good contact proceed to apply more pressure with the foot pedal until the stud is unseated.
• Press the foot pedal with your heel to retract the air cylinder. Make sure the hydraulic frame is supported as you do this.
• Remove all the studs from the wheel hub. Turn hub to line-up PakPress to remove each stud. (It’s not necessary to readjust cart height each time.)
• Then exchange adapters and replace with new studs.

Adapters Included

Piloted Hubs

• The PakPress unit also removes and installs studs on piloted hubs using tool #3 and tool #5 together. Please refer to below for tools. Follow the stud removal and installation instructions as described.

Stud Installation

• Put tool #3 into the hydraulic cylinder and rotate to desired position. (Fig. 12)
• Note : Remove tool #4 using the wing nut. It is not used when installing wheel studs.
• TSI recommends applying an anti-cease or lubricant on the shoulder of stud.
• Align new stud into position to be pressed in hub. Apply hydraulic pressure using the foot pedal on pump. Most of the stud will be within the slotted area in tool #3. As the frame comes into contact with the hub apply pressure until fully seating the stud. Visually inspect to make sure the stud is completely seated, then release hydraulic pressure and continue as necessary.
