Review on πŸ”§ OEMTOOLS 27212: Ultimate Manual Bushing Installation & Removal Tool Kit for Efficient Bearing Press & Bushing Removal by Octavius Webster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The bearing broke on the first use.

Used for the first time and the thrust bearing broke when I finished pressing the bushing. The kit is fine. out of stock. You need to switch to a legal heavy-duty bearing rated for the load being applied. I'll ask for a replacement but end up upgrading the bearings myself. It's also noticed that the snap ring that holds the bearing in place interferes with the platter it rides on. Could this be the reason for the broken bearings? Next time I'll use a large bore washer to see if that solves the problem.

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE: The bushing kit comes with an adapter for using bushings with a factory press; Plates and bushings can be used in a standard shop press if local access is not possible
Cons
  • Useless features
