Universal Camshaft Bearing Installation & Removal Kit

Brief Overview

This is a professional-grade universal camshaft bearing installation and removal kit engineered to handle the full spectrum of bearing sizes found in modern passenger car and light truck engines. The kit covers a broad 28.58–68.3mm (1.125"–2.69") bearing diameter range, making it an essential addition to any shop's engine overhaul toolkit. Whether you're servicing OEM cam bearings or handling aftermarket replacements, this system delivers the precision and control required to avoid bearing damage during press operations. Pair this with multi-engine timing control tools for complete camshaft service capability.

Key Features

• Wide Bearing Coverage: 28.58–68.3mm (1.125"–2.69") diameter range accommodates most passenger and light truck engines
• Dual-Purpose System: Handles both installation (pressing in) and removal (pressing out) operations with the same core components
• Precision Centering: Nylon centering cone ensures accurate bore alignment and prevents cam misalignment during press
• Material-Specific Bushings: Black rubber bushings (0.090" wall) for thick-walled bearings; bronze rubber bushings (0.065" wall) for thin-walled bearings—eliminates guesswork
• Five Expansion Flanges: Progressive diameter sizing allows smooth transitions across the entire bearing range without binding
• Rigid Drive System: Aluminum drive shaft and extension shaft provide straight-line force transmission with minimal deflection
• Complete Accessory Set: Two additional flanges, threaded adapters, and spacers included for shop flexibility
• Organized Storage: Molded blue plastic carrying case with dedicated compartments keeps components organized and protected between jobs

Business Advantages

High-Frequency, High-Margin Service: Camshaft bearing replacement is a recurring service in engine overhaul work. This kit positions your shop to capture this revenue stream without outsourcing to specialty shops.

Reduces Rework and Comebacks: Proper bearing installation prevents premature wear, misalignment, and lubrication failure. A precision tool directly protects your shop's reputation and reduces warranty costs.

Inventory Consolidation: One kit replaces multiple single-bearing tools and reduces the need to stock brand-specific installation kits. Lower tool inventory = faster inventory turns and reduced capital tie-up.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Camshaft work often pairs with valve timing service. Recommend this alongside valve timing control kits to increase overall job scope and customer value perception.

Professional Presentation: The complete, organized case signals competence to customers during engine work consultations.

Real-World Application

This kit is designed for engine overhaul shops, rebuilders, and independent mechanics tackling OEM camshaft bearing service. The progressive flange sizing eliminates the need to purchase separate bearing-specific tools for different engine platforms. Whether you're working on a 4-cylinder econobox or a larger truck engine, the bearing size falls within this kit's range.

The dual-material bushing system reflects real bearing construction: modern engines use thinner-wall bearings for weight savings, while older or heavy-duty engines retain thicker-walled designs. Having both options means no wasted time or improper installation due to wrong bushing choice.
