Universal Hydraulic Bush Extractor Kit, 18-Ton Capacity with 44 Adapter Sleeves

Brief Overview

This universal hydraulic bush extractor addresses a critical need in suspension work: removing bushings, bearings, and ball joints without dismantling components or risking damage to surrounding structures. With an 18-ton hydraulic cylinder and 44 precision-machined sleeves, this kit covers the standard diameter ranges found in European and Japanese passenger vehicles. The wheeled carry case ensures your crew can transport the complete system between job sites—a practical advantage when managing multiple vehicles throughout the day. For shops working on suspension assemblies, this tool pairs well with complementary equipment like a precision ball joint removal system for comprehensive joint and bushing extraction workflows.

Key Features

• 18-ton hydraulic cylinder with 3/8″ adapter for consistent, controlled force application
• 44 adapter sleeves (22 black + 22 gold zinc-plated) covering inner diameters 16–60 mm and outer diameters 26–68 mm in 2 mm increments
• Four pull spindles (M10, M12, M14, M16) for precise, centered force distribution across different fastener sizes
• Hardened steel construction throughout all working components for durability under repeated high-pressure cycles
• Wheeled carry case with molded component pockets for organized storage and job-site mobility
• In-vehicle operation: No need to remove suspension arms or control assemblies—extract bushings and bearings while components remain installed

Business Advantages for Your Shop

• Reduced Labor Hours: Direct extraction without component removal cuts suspension work time significantly, improving job turnover and crew utilization.
• Damage Prevention: Hydraulic precision eliminates hammer-and-chisel methods that risk cracking mounts, bending arms, or damaging ball joints—fewer comebacks and warranty disputes.
• Vehicle Coverage: The 44-piece sleeve range handles the majority of European and Japanese passenger vehicle models on your lift, reducing the need for multiple specialized extractors.
• Portability and Professional Image: The wheeled case transforms a bulky tool into mobile shop equipment, making it easy to manage inventory and transport between locations or between lift bays.
• Margin Protection: This is a high-value service offering—suspension bushing and ball joint extraction commands premium labor rates, especially when marketed as "no-removal extraction."
