Product Description
Professional Generation 2 Wheel Bearing Removal & Installation Tool
This Wheel Bearing Tool Kit is specifically engineered for the removal and installation of Generation II (GEN2) wheel bearings in a wide range of VAG group vehicles. Designed to work with 62mm, 66mm, 72mm and 85mm bearings, this specialist kit allows safe extraction and refitting without removing the ABS sensor, saving valuable workshop time and reducing risk of sensor damage.
Generation 2 wheel bearings integrate the wheel bearing and drive flange into a single, non-separable unit. This requires precise, controlled force during removal and installation — and that’s exactly what this professional-grade tool delivers.
What Are Generation II Wheel Bearings?
GEN2 wheel bearings combine:
Wheel bearing unit
Integrated drive flange
Hub mounting assembly
Unlike traditional serviceable bearings, they cannot be separated, meaning correct tooling is essential to prevent damage to:
Bearing races
Hub assemblies
ABS systems
Steering knuckles
Applications: Audi A2; Seat Cordoba & Ibiza; Skoda Fabia & Roomster; Volkswagen Fox, Lupo, Multivan, Polo, Touareg & Transporter.
This kit includes a redesigned extraction adaptor to allow removal of relevant bearings without disturbing the ABS sensor, reducing labour time and preventing costly faults.
IMPORTANT: ensure the threaded bar and thrust bearing are well lubricated with molybdenum disulphide grease before use.
Ideal for busy garages, MOT stations, mobile mechanics and serious DIY technicians working on Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT and Skoda vehicles.
