The 08122500 provides straightforward installation and removal which can be completed on-vehicle. Many competitor kits require the removal of the ABS sensor prior to use which can lead to damage resulting in replacement, however the Sykes-Pickavant solution doesn’t require this removal, saving the technician time and costs associated with a damaged sensor.
Eliminating the need for hydraulics, a large finely threaded spindle is included with the kit which also assists with bearing alignment and installation. Removal of the inner race can be carried out using this screw or a workshop press according to operator preference.
An easy-to-follow instructional video for the process can be found here covering each step of the operation; Removal of the Wheel Hub, Removal of the Inner Race using a Press or Screw, Removal of the Main Bearing, Installation of the New Bearing and Installation of the Hub. All of the parts for each operation are included within the kit.
The 08122500 is suitable for use on bearing reference number 713667980 on the following vehicles; Viano (W639) 2003 onwards, Vito Mixto (W639) 2003 onwards and Vito Minibus (W639) 2003 onwards.
