GEN2 Bearing Fitting & Removal Tool proving a success

Many of you will be familiar with the GEN2 Tool designed for mounting and dismounting modern GEN2 wheel hub bearing units. The current kit has proved to be a popular seller having been designed for vehicles with 72mm bearings like the Audi A2 (2000 onwards), Skoda Fabia (2000 onwards) and the VW Polo (2002 onwards).

We have had a few people ask us if there are other parts available to fit different sized bearings and the good news is that we are in the process of testing further sizes for this tool with the help of our friends at FAG bearings. They have provided us with some great advice as well as performing various bearing tests so watch this space for news of other sizes that will be available for this kit. 

See a preview at Mechanex – Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on the 20th and 21st September

Mechanex Exeter – Doctor in the house!

Dr Bob was down at the Mechanex show in Exeter this week and was pleased to see how busy the place seemed. As usual there were lots of questions about new product ideas like the new style brake cap for some newer Ford models …....watch this space!

We were also working with our friends at LUK who were showing our new tool for second generation wheel bearings as fitted to the following vehicles: Audi A2, Seat Ibiza IV & Cordoba, Skoda Fabia, VW Polo models & Fox. By the end of the show their guys were racing each other to see who could complete the job in the fastest time! Looks like this could be a winner!

Note from Editor:

Dr Bob was expecting a tough time in Exeter and this was evident by his ‘tough’ haircut he had before the show and after a gruelling day, it came to a point where he let down what little hair he had left and let’s just say the bars in Exeter will never be the same again……….
