PRIMARY PARTS continued
Specially designed adapters standard with each kit. 
SAFETY GLASSES ARE REQUIRED FOR OPERATION!
Before each use visually inspect the following items: Check for loose bolts, fittings, leaking hydraulic fluid, damaged or improperly assembled accessory equipment/attachments, bent or damaged couplers and port threads. Examine the cylinder frame for damage and stress fractures. Only operate hydraulic pump when safe to do so. If not carefully used fingers and hands can get pinched or crushed so use caution. Have adapters properly in place before operating. Do not wear loose clothing.
Specifications
Review hydraulic pump instructions and procedures before operating this unit. The power supply is air only. Operate at a maximum of 15 CFM@100 PSI. Hydraulic pump is capable of delivering 10,000 pounds of force.
ASSEMBLY
If purchased without the #624 7 Cart proceed to page 6. Remove parts from packaging to assemble cart (See Fig. 1.) Items are the wheeled base, center tower, rotating screw, handle, tool box and hardware.
Set aside the foot pedal, cylinder in frame and hydraulic hose for later. Refer to Fig. 2 and place center tower on base. Fasten with 4 of the 1 /4-20 x 1″ bolts, washers and nylon locking nuts. Note orientation of gusset in relation to the handle mount. See arrows. Use remaining two 1/4-20 x 1″ Bolts, Washers and Indented Lock Nuts to fasten Tool Box (See Fig. 3 & 4.)
Note: These also fasten two of the Roller Wheels in the Base.
Position handle on mounting studs (See Fig. 5) and tighten down with the supplied wing nut. Once parts are assembled tighten all hardware until firmly snug. Place rotating screw in center tower as shown in Fig. 6 below. Connect hydraulic hose (gauge end) to port on hydraulic pump. See yellow arrow below in Fig. 7.
Use the quick-disconnect end of hydraulic hose to connect to the cylinder
fitting (Fig. 7 white arrow ) Note: Make sure the coupling is assembled
properly and tightened with a pliers. Cylinder will not extend or retract if
this is not assembled correctly. Place the hydraulic parts on cart as shown in
Fig. 7. Place the adapters in tool box.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Pak Press unit can be used to remove and install wheel studs. To assist in using an otherwise heavy tool TSI has created a cart to wheel it around on and to help do the heavy lifting. Have the vehicle on a lift or jack stands with the tires removed. Provide clear access to the wheel hub so the Pak Press unit has room to maneuver.
Set-up Preparations
If you purchased the Pak Press Wheel Stud Remover separately without TSI #6247
Cart, you will need to connect hydraulic hose (gauge end) to port on hydraulic
pump. Refer to the yellow arrow on page 5, Fig. 7.In the same picture refer to
the white arrow and connect the quick-disconnect end of hydraulic hose to the
cylinder fitting. The power supply is air only. Input air supply must be
lubricated and free of moisture. Operate at a maximum of 15 CFM100 PSI.Refer
to page 5, Fig. 7 and connect your air supply to the hydraulic pump to where
the green arrow is pointing.
Stud Removal
Place Tool #1 in Fig. 8, firmly into threaded end of cylinder ram. The hole
bored in this adapter needs to line up with the centerline of Tool #1 in the
hydraulic cylinder. So, adjust the two hex nuts on Tool #4 to approximate
location shown in Fig. 9. 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
these two parts then tighten the hex nuts to lock them in position. See page
7, Fig. 10. This will only have to be done once if done
correctly.
An illustration to better identify how to line-up these parts for the Pak Press to be more effective. 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 Pak Press unit could occur.
With adapters ‘in place’ wheel the cart into hub area and adjust height of the cradle that holds the hydraulic frame
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
Pak Press to remove each stud. (It’s not necessary to readjust cart height
each time.)
Then exchange adapters and replace with new studs.
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 tool #2. See Fig.
12.
Piloted Hubs
The Pak Press unit can also remove and install studs on piloted hubs using
tool #3 and tool #5 together. Please refer to page 3 for tools. Follow the
stud removal and installation instructions as described in this guide.
Stud Installation
Put tool #3 into the hydraulic cylinder and rotate to desired position. (Fig.
13.) Note: Remove tool #4 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.NOTE: For
service maintenance of air-hydraulic pump or hydraulic cylinder please refer
to included manufacturer’s service literature and parts lists.
