Fifteen piece race and seal driver set with 8 dual sided aluminum adapters from 2-11/16 to 4-1/8 in. for pinion races, axle seals and bearings.
A 15 piece bearing race and seal driver set for axle and differential work. It has eight dual sided aluminum adapters sized from 2-11/16 in. up to 4-1/8 in. (sizes include 2-7/8, 3, 3-1/4, 3-1/2 and 3-3/4 in.), two knurled driver handles, a handle for an air hammer, a dead blow style mallet and a molded carry case. Each adapter is laser marked with its size.
Where it gets used: seating pinion bearing races and carrier bearing races during a ring and pinion setup, driving in pinion seals, axle seals and hub seals, and pressing wheel bearings in light trucks, vans and SUVs. Aluminum adapters won't mark the housing bore the way a steel punch or an old race would.
On the bench: pick the adapter that matches the race OD, since the race should sit on the step without the adapter touching the housing. Thread it onto a handle, start the race square by hand, then drive it until the sound changes from a ring to a solid thud. That change tells you the race is bottomed. Check it with a feeler gauge before you move on. For seals, use the flat side of the adapter so the seal lip is not loaded.
It replaces tapping races in with a brass drift, the most common reason a race ends up cocked and a new pinion bearing fails early.
