CHASSIS & WHEELS TOOLS

PRICE

WHEEL TUBE /2 /5 and POSSIBLY OTHER WHEELS WITH TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS
Tube to aid in removing the wheel bearings, and to pre-load them while checking for correct spacer length. Shown in picture #169 in my copy of the /2 BMW manual and BMW tool # 553 for /5.
 

$9
(.5 lb.)

WHEEL BEARING GREASER 1970-1984 EXCEPT R65LS 
To grease the tapered roller wheel bearings used until 1984 without removing them from the wheel. I was finally talked into making this tool even though I think it important that the bearings be visually inspected occasionally. After 1984 BMW used “sealed” ball bearings 
$24
(.4 lb)

WHEEL BEARING PULLER (Some 1977-198? Wheels) and 1955 to 1984 SWING-ARM BEARING PULLER
For various cast wheels such as R60/7 R75/7 1978-85 R65 R80GS R80ST 1977-84 R100RT R100RS and any place else BMW or Kukko puller 00 8 551 is called for. 

It also removes and installs the outer race and stock grease seal of the front (1955-69 Earles) and rear (1955-1984) tapered roller bearings used on all dual (not mono) shock BMW's.    

We’ve also been told that it is a correct fit for the swing arm pivot bearings on the Moto Guzzi and would probably cover anything from a V700 thru V11 California model.

$46

HUB NUT REMOVER BODY /2 /6 /7 and OTHERS and also URAL
This will remove the hub nut from any /2, some pre /2, /6 /7,  R100S & RS (not the R60/6 or R80/7) and some Urals to allow regreasing of the wheel bearings. It's designed to work even when some bozo has gouged those four holes on the nut. You will also need a pin set.
$33
(1.6 lb.)

Pin set for /2.  also fits those Urals with diagonal pin hole spacing of 46mm (1.81 inch)

$13
(Each pin set .2 lb.)

Pin set for /6 /7. ( You will need to bend the BODY 10 degrees, still usable for /2 )

$13

Pin set for some pre /2 (for a number of models, but I don't know which)

$13

HUB NUT REMOVER BODY R27 R26 R25/3 R25/2 R24
Works in the same manner as the /2 tool, but is for the smaller hub nut used on the singles. It uses the pin set for pre /2 (see above)
$33
(1.3 lb.)

WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTING KIT 1955-1969 TWINS
Enough pieces to properly adjust the pre-load on the bearings of one wheel.
$15
(0.1 lb)

FRONT END ALIGNMENT TOOLS:
ALL TELESCOPIC BIKES, EVEN NON BMW

This is a group of tools used to insure your fork tubes are both straight and parallel. When they are, more of the force from road bumps gets soaked up by the hydraulic fluid and not transmitted by binding fork tubes and stiction to the rider. Instruction sheet with any alignment tool below:
 

V-blocks and dial indicator holder (also used to true pre 1970 crankshafts) to check for bent fork tubes. You will need threaded rods and a dial indicator, see below.

$56
(0.7 lb)

Threaded rods: three 3/8 diameter by 3 feet long, available from any hardware store at $1-$2 each or from me (I don’t want to ship them).

$24
(1.5 lb)

Dial indicator .0005” (.01mm) resolution. Better than you need for this application, but I just want to handle one model for this and engine work 1 inch range.

$32
(0.5 lb)

Dial indicator modification to the dial indicator above, so as to be able to use it to determine if the fork tubes are parallel (side to side).

$13
(.3 lb)

Plate used to determine if one tube is cocked in front of the other, glass checked for flatness.

$19
(1 lb)

SHOCK COMPRESSOR /2 /5 /6
This is used to get at worn shocks on the front of /2 and rear of /5 & /6. Also included is a tool for unscrewing front and rear /2 shocks from their seats. Replaces Matra 5094 and Dowidat No.31-10.
$47
(1.4 lb.)

SHOCK CAP WRENCH 1955-69 SINGLES AND TWINS
This is for the aluminum cap at the top of the rear shocks that can sometimes be difficult to remove. Over time the threads inside the cap become frozen to the shock rod, and both rotate when you try to unscrew the cap. This should help.
$29

MULTI PIN BODY /2 /5 /6 /7 R26 R27
To adjust the rear swingarm pivot pins on /2’s where it replaces Matra 513, remove the front fork filler caps on US/2 /5 /6 and /7, and both types of threaded rings used in the bottom of the telescopic forks.
$12
(.4 lb)

Pin set for /2 swingarm, telescopic front fork filler caps, and /2 and some /5 threaded rings.

$6.50
(.1 lb.)

Pin set for some /5, and all /6 and /7 threaded rings.

$6.50
(.1 lb.)

HEAD BEARING PULLER 1970-1995 AIRHEADS AND WE THINK all K BIKES
To remove the difficult to get at outer races of all airhead head (steering) bearings.
$51
(1.0 lb.)

SWINGARM LOCKNUT SOCKET 1970-?
There is not enough space for a conventional socket to loosen/tighten the swingarm pivot pin locknut, and the tool provided in the toolkit won’t tighten the nut to the required torque. I have modified a conventional socket to fit.
$21
(0.4 lb.)

SWING ARM PIVOT PIN WRENCH 1955-69
See Multi Pin Wrench
 

SWING ARM (1955-1984) and WHEEL BEARING PULLER (Some 1977-198? wheels) and MOTO GUZZI

We’ve also been told that it is a correct fit for the swing arm pivot bearings on the Moto Guzzi and would probably cover anything from a V700 thru V11 California model.

Also used on various cast wheels such as R60/7 R75/7 1978-85 R65 R80GS R80ST 1977-84 R100RT R100RS and any place else BMW or Kukko puller 00 8 551 is called for.
