Description

The OEMTOOLS 24549 Automotive Bearing Cup Installer offers additional features to the classic C clamp design that make it perfect for installing bearing cups on U joints. The pressure of the forcing bolt creates clearance for the installation of the retaining rings. The closed end of the clamp and the inside end of the forcing bolt both contain magnets that hold the ends in place while pressing the bearing cups into the U joint. You can also save time on the bearing install process by installing 2 bearing cups at once without risking damage to the bearing or drive shaft. Additionally, this U joint installer tool allows this essential drive shaft job to be completed without the need for a benchtop press or other expensive equipment. Instead, you can press bearing cups using this drive shaft tool and a 1/2 inch drive or smaller impact wrench. To get your U joint and drive shaft happily back together, look no further than the OEMTOOLS 24549 Automotive Bearing Cup Installer.

Well worth the investment and built really well
Wet heavy built, took no time to press out the old u joint and to install the new one. A lot better than the old shop vice. Plus there is a magnet In the other end that makes holding a socket or metal cup for pressing out easier. Good value, easy to use to remove and install

Disappointing
When pressing u-joints, this tool can only press two opposing caps towards each other, and cannot press them into the yoke ears once the u-joint caps have bottomed out on the trunnion cross. A vice does the exact same thing more easily, but shares the same shortcoming. This press lacks a recess for the opposing u-joint cap and is just a stout C-clamp, nothing more. ... show more

It works
Use this regularly to replace PTO shaft u joints on concrete mixers. Does the job very well and is about half the price of the Tiger Tool version.
