torquatrol dolo sprint

#1 Post by Denis Bonnier »

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

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.

is the operation easy?
the assembly on its axis is tight? Thanks again

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?
