Pressing matters are not a worry with the Clarke CSA10BB
If you have ever sweated over removing corroded bushes and bearings, you need to add the Clarke CSA10BB to your garage.
Money doesn’t make the world go round, bearings do. From axles to swingarm pivots, and everything in between. If it spins, rotates or pivots on its axis, the chances are there is a bearing, and or bushes at play.
And when they work, they’re great. But after many years of use, and many miles riding along salted winter roads, they can be an absolute pain in the packside to remove. Heat and hammers can help, and in some cases, a puller could come to the rescue, but those solutions come with their own set of problems, especially with smaller bearings or those surrounded by paint or powder coating that you definitely don’t want to damage.
In situations like this, only a bench press will do, and if you’re looking for one bench press to cover off a multitude of jobs, the Clarke CSA10BB 10 Tonne Bench Press Kit should be considered.
It comes with the pump, frame, hose, bedplate (which is adjustable in height) and pressure gauge, all included, meaning it’s ready to apply its 10 tonnes of pressure straight away. For more specialised jobs, a separate 7 Piece Adaptor Kit (Order Code: 020425060) is also available. Adding that to the CSA10BB will provide you with mandrels in the dimensions 15mm/15mm, 25mm/25mm, 40mm/40mm & 40mm/50mm. With motorcycles featuring bearings, bushes, and gears coming in all shapes and sizes, we’d recommend bolstering your tool cabinet with the extra versatility.
Once erected, the entire press stands 1,070mm tall, offers 340mm between the supports, and has a workpiece height of 315mm. It tips the scales at 52.96kg when packaged, although as it requires bolting to a sturdy workbench, it’s not like you’ll be looking to move it very often!
