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.

NEW VAG Hub Bearing Tool – Developed with a little help from some friends…..

We have recently launched a tool for replacing hub bearings on certain cars that include the Polo, A2, Ibiza, Cordoba, Fabia, Roomster and Fox. The NEW 08125500 - Wheel Hub Bearing Fitting Kit was developed and tested with the help of one of the countries leading independent Volkswagen specialists - “Volks” from Coventry. 

Proprietor Rob Howard says…”Over the years we have done hundreds of these tricky hub bearings and this tool will really help, now that it can be used on the car quickly and safely”. Rob adds “Without this tool the hub bearing is likely to be damaged when you re-fit it into the hub.” Praise indeed and seeing how many people trust Rob and his team to look after their VW group cars from all across the Midlands; that’s good enough for us!
