YT-1097 Universal Press and Pull Sleeve Remove Install Bushes Bearings Garage Tool Kit,black

Really heavy good quality tool!

Removed a rusty bearing with ease.

I was looking for a tool to remove Volkswagen console bushes. The 60mm adaptor fitted perfectly using the largest thread and a 80mm adaptor on the rear of the bush, it removed the bush very easily. I retrofitted Powerflex bushes i used just the plate without the 60mm adaptor and the 80mm at the back, plenty of lubrication it slipped in easily. Box is quite heavy which shows the quality of the kit 100% recommended.

We bought this as a solution to remove and refit a suspension bush. The biggest threaded bar was used and it broke, the bush didn't move! The quality appears good, but the reality is, it's shocking. Buy cheap, buy twice. I hope this saves somebody making the same mistake.

The media could not be loaded. The tool worked perfectly however the first time I took the bearing off the medium bar to pull the new bearing in the thread wouldn't wind on again. Worked fine the wrong way around. Wire wheeled the threads on the bar to make them not have a sharp edge and greased the threads up. Worked better but still had to use a spanner to spin it past the first thread.The thick bar was used to pull the bearing out as the middle of the bush was missing used a 27mm spanner and ratchet to crack the bush free the first time. Worked perfectly first turn and pop it came loose. Then used the impact driver to finish it off. Think I skipped the manual wratchet for the second one.I did have to use my thick steel flat plate to pull the bush into the rear subframe as using the collar was far to hard even with four hands. Just hard to line the lot of bits up. Didn't want to destroy the round collar ends as it may have damaged the slots that the collars slip into so used the metal plate with a hole drilled in to protect the groves in the collar mount until the bush was mostly in then swapped to the collar in the round mount. Worked perfectly didnt bend. However will have to see what it's like after multiple uses.Excellent value for money. Will be able to use the collars with the hydraulic press I have as well.Spare thin bar and rubbers to hold the bearings together. One bearing was missing a runner band. Will be installing metal split collars when I get them. As they are not as likely to fall off or deteriorate with long term use .This kit is heavy and strong. Well built especially for the price. Also has a good range of sizes especially impressed with the fact they have intermediate sizes so these should fit nearly every bush size or bearing size.The collars should be perfect if you have a hydraulic press as they are thick and very well made. I looked for collars to go onto my press and they were fortunes so I just left it and used sockets however now I have this kit I will never need to force a bearing out just to use the old one to push the new one in.Didn't record us putting the bearing in as they were a good few mm larger then the hole until they compressed into the first bit.Bearings seem to be good enough however the metal is a little soft either side of the bearings. Hopefully they will allow replacement bearings and carrier's to be available separately in the future.

Gift for my husband hasn’t used it as yet

Bought to replace bushes in 2 wishbones....new wishbones would have been £180.Plus I enjoy doing the work myself.New bushes £20 plus £68 for this tool. So saving of £90 and I have a new tool thrown in !!Pushed my bushes out and pressed new ones in.The kit is big and heavy !

The bar bent when pushing out a subframe bushing. That said, it still came out... So maybe it's a one time use kit! It has however done a great job for the smaller bushings on arms, but i would be hesitant on bigger bushings
