Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced OTC 5080A Leaf Spring Pin and Bushing Service Set for Front Truck Suspension by Original Mansel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well. You may need to make your own tooling for some trucks.

High Power; doesn't fight at all. I used it on a Hino that required slightly larger tools. I made my own tool by welding steel tubing and washers together. It worked great for removing and installing through-bolt bushings. I assume that if I need to replace the pin bushings I'll make my own tool for that as well. It was mentioned by other reviewers that it could be used on Kenworth's Peterbilt display with the tool provided, but International requested a minor modification. All tools are under pressure, not tension. Therefore, no specific steel grade is required. Actually I used galvanized pipe which is weaker than mild steel. Tip: When you buy an AC adapter, sometimes it comes with an air hose release button. Don't delete it. This will come in handy. At first I wanted to remove it, there is already a foot pedal. But while using it, I found that the trigger helps with fine-tuning when installing the bushings. It's easier to slightly pull the trigger than to use the pedal. You really can't expect much for this price. It exceeded my expectations.
