The Bearing Press
& Extraction Tool (BPET) is designed for the ‘Home
Mechanic’ for use on ‘LINKAGE BEARINGS’,
however it still works on many pivot and hub bearings (adaptors
& kits are being developed for hubs & pivot bearing
use)
Instructions for Use
Firstly ensure you have the correct RRP Bearing Kit to match
the bearings you intend to insert / extract (see list below).
You can identify which kit you need either by reading the bearing
number written on the rubber seal, or you can measure the inner
bore race and outer race of the bearing (as shown below) and
match it to our list below
Extracting Bearings
(RED adaptors) - SOLD SEPARATELY
Place the RED adaptors from your RRP BEARING KIT as shown below,
take time to ensure that all the parts fit flush and are aligned
to prevent any damage to parts or frame. In particular check
that the female adaptor cup is flush on the frame to prevent
frame damage.
Wind on the main handle until the parts all come together, make
a final check that everything is aligned properly. Continue
to wind on the main handle which will allow the male adaptor
to pull on the inner race of the bearing and extract it into
the female adaptor cup (NB: The male adaptor passes through
the female adaptor to ensure a uniform and true extraction*),
it will become harder to turn once the bearing starts to extract.
After a couple of turns stop and check that the bearing is extracting
properly before continuing
Inserting
Bearings (BLUE adaptors)
- SOLD SEPARATELY
Place the BLUE adaptors from your RRP BEARING KIT as shown below,
take time to ensure that all the parts fit flush and are aligned
to prevent any damage to parts or frame.
Wind on the main handle until all the parts come together, the
male adaptor should be pressing on the outer race of the bearing
you are inserting. Make a final check that everything is all
aligned. Continue to wind on the main handle, the male adaptor
will press onto the outer race of the bearing and insert it
(NB: The male adaptor passes through the female adaptor to ensure
a uniform and true insertion*), it will become harder to turn
once the bearing starts to insert. After a couple of turns stop
and check that the bearing is inserting properly before continuing
General Information
ALL BEARING KIT ADAPTORS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY.
The BPET is only suitable
for frames with flat surfaces to press against. This tool is
designed for the competent home mechanic who has reasonable
knowledge and experience of working on bikes. This tool is designed
to extract and insert linkage bearings, however the tool can
also be used to press and extract bearings on hubs and freehub
bodies
(NB: the handle arms have been reduced in length and thickness
to decrease the torque available reducing the risk of damage
from misalignment / incorrect installation)
*Bearing Kits 1, 2 & 3 don’t have male adaptors (just
female ones) due to the small size of the bearing bore hole
