2. Product Description
2.1 KL-0041-44 C - Wheel Bearing Tool
with 17t Hydraulic Cylinder (Pat.)
Suitable for use on vehicles with bearing Ø of 72mm (both
with and without snap ring [such as SKF bearings]); e.g.
Audi A2 (from 2000 onwards), Seat Ibiza (from 2002
onwards), Škoda Fabia (from 2000 onwards) and VW Polo
(from 2002 onwards), Fox, etc.
The KL-0041-44 Cwheel bearing tool enables the quick and
safe installation of wheel hub bearing units without the risk of
damaging them.
Due to the particular design of the wheel hub bearing units,
conventional installation by means of a thrust piece under a
workshop press or by using standard wheel bearing tools is no
longer feasible. This is because, with this type of bearing, the
outer bearing race is covered by the wheel hub. GEDORE
Automotive have now come up with a solution to this problem
with the specifically designed clamping shells which are
mounted against the wheel bearing outer race behind the wheel
hub, thus allowing for professional installation of the wheel hub
bearing units.
The clamping shells feature a securing collar designed to ensure
that wheel hub bearing units without snap ring are pressed in
completely/into deepened position.
For the removal of wheel hub bearing units, the wheel hub puller
KL-0041-38 is needed.

4. Wheel Hub Bearing Unit Installation
The following instructions describe the procedure of installing a
wheel hub bearing unit at the front axle.
Installing the Wheel Hub Bearing Unit
1. ATTENTION
Risk of damage to clamping shells “6“ and wheel hub
bearing unit.
Make sure that clamping shells “6“ are properly seated on
the wheel hub bearing unit.
Mount clamping shells “6“ to wheel hub bearing unit as
shown in Fig. 3.
2. Screw pressure screws “7“ evenly into wheel hub until the
non-threaded end of pressure screws “7“ completely
engages the groove of clamping shells “6“. Then, tighten
screws evenly in a crosswise sequence. (Fig. 4).
Note: Use a vernier calliper to check that pressure screws
“7“ are level with each other if necessary.
3. CAUTION
A falling tool can cause injuries.
Use safety belt KL-0040-2590 to prevent tool from falling.
Always wear safety shoes/boots.
Mount tool to steering knuckle as shown in Fig. 5.
4. Connect hydraulic cylinder “1“ to hydraulic pump
(accessory).
5. DANGER
When installing the wheel hub bearing unit, there is a risk
that pull spindle “3“ could break and fall to pieces. This will
lead to parts becoming projectiles.
Observe and do not exceed the maximum load capacity of
pull spindle “3“ and hydraulic cylinder “1“.
Use hydraulic pump with pressure gauge KL-0040-2529.
Only use the original spare parts from GEDORE
Automotive.
Always keep all parts of your body away from the axial
extension of the pull spindle.
Operate hydraulic pump and install wheel hub bearing unit.
(Fig. 5)
During the installation process, read and observe the force
indicated on the pressure gauge of the hydraulic pump.
Stop the installation process as soon as the wheel hub
bearing unit is correctly positioned.
Note: With wheel hub bearing units featuring a snap ring,
make sure that the snap ring engages completely!
6. Remove tool from steering knuckle. Check the position of the
wheel hub bearing unit and reassemble the vehicle
according to the manufacturer's directions and instructions.
