Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the correct collet size that fits snugly inside the bearing's inner diameter.
- Attach the collet to the screw-type bridge extractor.
- Secure the bridge extractor onto the slide hammer shaft.
- Insert the assembled tool into the blind bearing and expand the collet slightly to grip the bearing's internal edge.
- Carefully operate the slide hammer by sliding it down the shaft to strike the collar and pull the bearing out.
Compatibility: This set is designed for blind bearings with internal diameters ranging from 8mm to 34mm. Always ensure the collet has a firm grip on the inner diameter of the bearing before operating the slide hammer.
Care:
- Clean the collets and slide hammer components after each use with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
- Store the set in its original case to protect the components and prevent loss.
- Lightly oil metal parts, especially the screw thread, to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
