Review on πŸ”§ BTSHUB 52-Piece Custom Bushing Driver Set for Efficient Transmission Wheel Axle Bearing Race and Seal Installation & Removal Tool Kit by Dino Burks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money. Multipurpose including turning

I purchased this to fit races and seals while restoring a 40 year old Kubota steering gear that had destroyed itself. They worked great, and the three-star reviewer who cited the sloppy placement of the o-rings had apparently never installed bearings by hand before. The o-ring allows the primary bushing to tilt a few degrees for racing while the pilot bushing remains concentric. Maybe someone rolled this thing (L-285) in a past life because the steering column was hit pretty badly. So I had to determine how badly it was damaged and I had to place it "between the centers". As it turned out the 39mm socket fitted straight into the end of the tube and allowed it to be securely clamped into a 3-jaw machine on one of my lathes with a moving center at the end of the mounting leg. It will eventually be a straightening job on a hydraulic press, but it took five minutes "between centers" on a lathe. Cute! I should have installed that jack 45 years ago. How many times have I had to fasten thin-walled tubing on a lathe. The 39mm socket fitted almost perfectly. Having an assortment of 1mm pitch sockets is amazing. If you're turning smaller diameter thin-walled tubing on a lathe, this set is a must-have. Five stars!
