Information importante
Non chamfered crown races are not compatible with DR-10100. Always be sure to
put chamfered side of crown race downwards, otherwise you will damage tool.
Warranty will not apply in case of misuse or tool modification.
Crown race removal instructions
1. Insert fork into your swivel fork clamp FH-92700 or bench mount repair stand
PR-90500
2. Slide fork column into crown race remover. To insert fork column deeper into
tool, turn handle in a counterclockwise direction.
For extra depth, unscrew the handle support and install the extension tube.
3. To get collet to open wider than outside diameter of crown race, simply turn
tool mandrel in a counterclockwise direction. Then turn tool body in a clockwise direc-
tion until blades begin to wedge under chamfered area of crown race. Keep on tighte-
ning until blades are snug under crown race.
4. Turn handles until pressing disc inside tube begins pressing on top of fork
column. Keep on turning handles to fully remove crown race. Some forks and crown
races have very little space for DR-10100 to wedge under crown race. Never over
tighten tool mandrel as it may damage tool. As chamfered side of crown race is very
narrow, turn handles slowly. If you turn handles too fast, collet might slip off and be
damaged
Bearing removal instructions
1. Remove snap ring from crank spindle before the bearing can be removed. Fai-
lure to remove snap ring will damage tool and bearing. Outer snap ring pliers such as
VAR DV-56000 or a small flat blade screwdriver such as DV-71102 can do the job.
2. Position bearing remover over crank spindle and turn handles to allow collet’s
blades to fit between bearing and crank, in the same way as crown race.
3. Turn handles in a clockwise direction until pressing disc of tool begins pressing
on top of crank spindle. Keep on turning handles to fully remove bearing.
Regular maintenance
Release tension in collet by turning tool mandrel before storage otherwise collet will
loose its spring action and its lifespan will be shortened. Regularly grease any mobile
parts
