Piston Ring Compressor

We discovered this tool after searching for years for an answer to the problem of fitting pistons in bores. We initially bought a pair of sets to fit the pistons on a Kawasaki Z1100 shaft which had been bored out for high compression aftermarket pistons and had virtually no lead into the bore. (See the video on installing pistons) The tool proved to be fantastic and very much got our seal of approval. We were sceptical at first, but the proof is in the pudding, and we have sold literally hundreds and had very good feedback!

The tool is suitable for pistons from 40mm diameter to 85mm.

9 Piece Blind Bearing Puller Set

We bought one of these sets years ago and now wonder how we ever managed without it. It has two methods for extracting bearings, one being the slide hammer as with the above set and also frame work with legs where you draw the bearing out with a threaded device. The latter method we have always found preferable, especially when using a ratchet spanner.

There are collets for bearings with an inside diameter of 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 17mm, 20mm, 30mm and 32mm, which we have found covers the vast majority of bearings found on the motorcycles we work on. We have used the set on gear box bearings, wheel bearings, swing arm bearings, final drive bearings to name but a few.

You'll be using this fantastically versatile tool years after you have forgotten what it cost.
