Step 2: Removing the Bearing
Efficient removal is essential to avoid component damage. Aero Staking provides aerospace tools for bearings that simplify this process:
-
ASIR Drill Press Tool – Uses arbor press, drill press, or knee-type mill for clean removal.
-
Portable Installer/Remover Tool – Distributes mechanical force evenly for tight-pressed bearings.
Step 3: Installing the New Bearing
Proper installation extends bearing performance and reliability. Our bearing installation tools are engineered for accuracy:
-
ASIR Drill Press Tool – Ensures square, tilt-free bearing installation.
-
Portable Installer/Remover Tool – Assists with even insertion in tight-fit holes.
