4.
Two people are now recommended, with one placing the adaptor and bush in (Fig.14) over the housing bore. See the orientation
datums for correct alignment (Fig.7). The second person can offer the press frame over the entire group of items shown in (Fig.16)
ensuring the bottom plate locates over the “C” ring. The second person can now wind in the thrust screw ensuring concentricity and
squareness of both the press and the adaptor. With a 16mm socket increase the torque and observe the bush sleeve progress
through to correct depth insertion.
DO NOT EXCEED 180NM, IF THIS OCCURS, STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CHECK
ALIGNMENTS.
Observe closely the depth control legs, when they touch the trailing arm face resistance will increase abruptly, the
bush is now fully inserted, see (Fig.15) telescopic view.
DO NOT
attempt to tighten any further.
5.
With possibility of heavy objects falling, special caution required whilst unscrewing the press and removing the entire kit.
6.
Clean and lubricate before returning the kit to the carry case.
7.
Refer to BUSH REMOVAL(1&2) and manufacturer’s or proprietary
d return the
vehicle to the road for test drive.
MAINTENANCE
It is essential to keep the kit dry and free of swarf and grit. After use clean all components thoroughly ensuring thrust screw threads
are cleared with an air line, internal threads and external threads.
Inspect all components for signs of distortion, especially the
orque,
misalignment and concentricity in operation, included to prevent damage.
Before returning the kit to the carry case smear blackened components and unpainted surfaces with an oiled cloth.
To avoid condensation store indoors with carry case closed.
NOTE! It may be necessary to disassemble and reassemble
the press frame insitu when access is limited. A 17mm
spanner only required, the clear opening height is
governed by the studs.
