Wheel end tools

Dismounting a HBU 2.1 (compact bearing), but more importantly, mounting the wheel bearing onto a vehicle needs to be performed with caution. SKF has developed specific tools to ensure that the pressure for inserting the bearing into the knuckle is applied to the correct area (outer ring), to avoid damaging sensitive components.
