Operation

Removing Bush & Bearing

1. Park your vehicle and lift it up using a car lift or a jack. Remove all the assemblies and accessories on the control arm you’re to service.
2. Pick out the thickest of the pulling spindles (A) that will fit through the bush or bearing.
3. Lubricate the chosen spindle and its nuts with quality molybdenum disulfide.
4. Choose a correct sized press sleeve (B) for pressing out the bush or bearing.
   • Warning: The outer diameter of the sleeve MUST be wider than the inner diameter of the bush or bearing, but narrower than the outer diameter of the bush or bearing.
5. Choose a correct sized sleeve to remove the bush or bearing.
   • Warning: The outer diameter of the sleeve MUST be no wider than the control arm so they press tight and square. The inner diameter of the sleeve MUST be wide enough to receive the bush or bearing as it is pressed out.
6. Arrange the press and removal sleeves and the pulling spindle as shown, aligning them so that they stay aligned as you drive the nuts on both ends.
   • Warning: Note that the tool can be used on bush or bearing in situ or on vise, depending on your specific condition.
7. Align the viewing slots on both sleeves so you can watch the removal.
8. Use your rachets to drive the nuts towards the control arm, steadily forcing the bearing or bush out.
9. Unscrew and remove the nuts to release sleeves and retrieve bush or bearing.

Installing Bush & Bearing

1. Pick out the thickest of the pulling spindles (A) that will fit through the bush or bearing.
2. Lubricate the chosen spindle and its nuts with quality molybdenum disulfide.
3. Choose a correct sized press sleeve (B) for pressing in the bush or bearing.
   • Warning: The outer diameter of the sleeve MUST be wider than the inner diameter of the bush or bearing, but narrower that the outer diameter of the bush or bearing.
4. Choose a correct sized installation sleeve.
   • Warning: The outer diameter of the sleeve MUST be no wider than the control arm so they press tight and square.
5. Gently press the chosen installation sleeve against the control arm.
6. Remove the nuts on the chosen spindles and feed it through the installation sleeve and control arm. Reinstall one of the removed nuts on the side of the installation sleeve.
7. Fit the bearing or bush, press sleeve, and the remaining nut onto the spindle from the other side of the control arm. Pre-tighten the nut so the sleeve is perfectly aligned with the bush or bearing.
8. Turn the sleeves clockwise so that you can see the bush or bearing being pushed into the control arm.
9. Use your rachets to drive the nuts towards the control arm, steadily forcing the bearing or bush until it is flush with the control arm.
