Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to
always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it.
Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.
Safety instructions
•The wheel bearing tool may only be used for its intended purpose.
Attention! When parts to be removed are loosened, the puller might spring back with the loos-
ened component thus representing a danger. Therefore, never stand behind the puller in the
direction of a possible rebound.
•Always wear personal protective equipment.
•Before each use of the wheel bearing tool, carry out a visual inspection to identify any damage
and, if necessary, replace a damaged part.
•Any part that might have been overloaded must be taken out of service immediately.
•Before straining individual threads, make sure that enough thread turns are engaged.

Removal
Step 1
Choose the disassembly screw depending on the wheel bolt thread – M12×1.5 or M14×1.5 – and screw
it into the thread of the wheel hub. Attention! Two points of support on the wheel bearing housing are
not necessary. Alternating support on one side of the wheel bearing housing can be done as described
in the following:
1. Turn the disassembly screw until the point of support.
2. Turn the disassembly screw one more turn.
3. Relieve the screw by turning it back.
4. Turn the wheel hub 180° until the second screw touches the point of support.
5. Proceed with the other screw in the same way as described from step 3.
Attention! Always work steadily to prevent tilting.
Step 2
Use suitable pliers to remove the retaining ring.

Step 3
Select the appropriate sleeve according to the wheel bearing housing diameter, place it on the appro-
priate stepped plate, and select the appropriate bushing depending on the bearing diameter. In the best
case, the bushing is used with the collar pointing towards the bearing for better guidance. If the collar
does not fit easily into the inner diameter of the bearing, the washer can also be inserted with the collar
pointing towards the outside.
Step 4
The individual wheel bearing tool components are now placed on the extracting screw in the following
order:
•Thrust bearing
•Pressure sleeve
•Stepped plate
•Sleeve
Extracting screw first, insert this unit into the bearing. Now place the other side with the appropriate
bushing, pressure sleeve, and screw-down nut (with the screw-in aid first) on the extracting screw.
Attention! Check for correct fit before tightening!
Always tighten the extracting screw on the thrust bearing side and counter-hold with a wrench on the
other side.
Once the bearing has been pulled out, the complete unit can be removed from the wheel bearing hous-
ing towards the pull-out sleeve side.
Now dismantle the tool again.

Assembly
Step 1
Mount the front circlip into the wheel bearing housing as a stop.
Step 2
Position the new bearing from behind in front of the wheel bearing housing and insert the pull-out sleeve
with the spindle into the wheel bearing housing. Attach the following pull-out parts as described under
point 4 (removal). Now the installation process can begin.
Attention! Make sure that the new bearing is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.
Step 3
After the bearing has been pulled in, the rear assembly of the extracting screw is removed again up to
the pressure sleeve in preparation for wheel hub installation and the extracting screw is pulled com-
pletely out of the axle beam. The wheel hub is now pushed onto the extracting screw in front of the
sleeve. Insert the extracting screw back into the wheel bearing housing and attach the rear pull-out parts
as usual. Now the installation of the wheel hub can begin.

Attention! Ensure that the wheel hub is inserted cleanly and is not tilted. Finally, the rear retaining ring
is removed.
Adapter plate
The 50-mm plate is used to hold all bushings for use with a shop press.
Maintenance and care
The threads of the extracting screw and press-off bolts are exposed to high strain. All threads must be
clean and lubricated when used. The threads of the extracting screw and press-off bolts should be
lubricated with a heavy-duty grease before each use.
