dear TDC members,
I am looking for information on the method of replacing torquatrol with a new torquatrol. do you need a hydraulic press or a puller?
thanks in advance
Denis

Hi Denis,

A manual three legged puller is more than adequate. When fitting the new unit be sure to also fit a new tolerance ring which is the corrugated stainless steel cylinder which sits between the torquatrol unit and the spindle on which it is mounted.

It presses on easily enough; put the new tolerance ring on the spindle first.

That's it, I removed the torquetrol from its axis as well as the ring.
If I want to remove the pulley shaft to change the bearings, how should I proceed?
