Fast Gearbox Repair Tool Manual - Common Faults and Troubleshooting: Overheating of the Transmission.The long-term operating temperature of the transmission should not exceed 120°C. If this temperature is exceeded, the lubricating oil will deteriorate and the life of the transmission will be affected.Due to the friction of the moving parts, the transmission will generate a certain amount of heat. The normal operating temperature is about 38°C higher than the ambient temperature. The heat is dissipated through the transmission housing. If the heat dissipation is not normal, it will cause overheating.Before looking for the cause of overheating, the oil temperature gauge and oil temperature sensor must be checked to ensure that the reading of the oil temperature gauge is correct.Generally, overheating is caused by the following reasons:1) Improper lubrication. The oil level is too low or too high, the oil grade is wrong, or the transmission working angle exceeds 12°.2) The driving speed is usually below 32Km/h.3) The engine speed is too high;4) The airflow around the transmission is blocked because the transmission is surrounded by the frame, floor, fuel tank and installed between the large bumper assembly;5) The engine exhaust system is too close to the transmission;6) The ambient temperature is too high;7) Overloading and speeding.

how to remove bearing from housing Since bearings with interference fits can be easily damaged during removal, precautions to prevent damage during removal should be taken. To ease removal and avoid damage, proper tools and procedures need to be employed. To remove outer rings with interference fits, it is recommended that notches or bolt holes and bolts be provided on the shoulder of the housings. The notches can be used to provide clearance for a puller to grab the outer ring for removal of the bearing. Bolts can be used to jack the bearing out of the housing. Tapped holes in the housing are provided at the bearing outer race face to perform this operation.

How To Adjust Your Motorcycle Chain Motorcycle Safety Note: Adjusting your motorcycle chain can significantly affect the safe rideability of the bike. If you cannot safely adjust your motorcycle chain, get a professional to make the adjustments.Check Your Motorcycle Chain Slack Measurements.The first step I do is prepare for both the measurement and the chain adjustment by collecting and staging my tools.  Motorcycle Chain Slack Measurement Tools I use: Small ruler or measuring tape. Combination wrenches sized for motorcycle chain tensioner bolts. Socket/combination wrenches for loosening/tightening the rear axle.Tip: Whenever I loosen or tighten a bolt, I have a thread locker ready to use. Working in a safe garage is always a good step: (Motorcycle Garage Safety Rules ).Now some needed information is necessary when measuring your motorcycle’s chain slack.Measure The Motorcycle Chain Slack.Since the bike’s chain moves while a rider is seated, I measure my chain slack while the bike has weight on the seat.This added weight can be done a few ways, but the easiest I found was getting a helper. With the bike off and in gear, weight applied to the seat, gently rolling the bike backward to tighten the upper section of the motorcycle chain, I measured the lower section.I measure the distance the motorcycle chain sags from the swing arm with a ruler or measuring tape. With this reading, I push up on the chain and note the difference in the bike chain moving from the lowest to the highest position.  Based on the results, I either tighten, loosen, or leave my motorcycle chain alone. How To Adjust A Motorcycle Chain.When measuring my motorcycle chain slack, the weight was on the bike. No weight should be on the bike while adjusting the chain. The rear axle will be loosened, which can make the bike unstable.However, I reapply weight to the motorcycle seat for slack measurements to check the chain slack during adjustment.FYI: additional motorcycle chain loose symptoms: Chain slap, clicking noises from the loose chain links hitting chain guards, or even chain popping off sprockets. Or your bike chain sagging too low. How To Tighten A Motorcycle Chain: To tighten the motorcycle chain, we must lengthen the distance the chain travels from the front sprocket to the rear sprocket. Just another easy step in how to adjust your motorcycle chain. 1.- Loosen The Motorcycle Axle. Loosen the motorcycle’s rear axle just enough to allow axle movement on the swing arm. 2.- Loosen The Chain Tensioner’s Lock Nuts. Loosen the tensioner lock nuts and unthread them enough to access the chain tension adjustment nuts.3.- Lengthen The Motorcycle Chain Travel DistanceTo increase the travel distance, I tighten the motorcycle chain tensioner nuts equally.Equally, if I do one complete turn on the left chain tensioner nut, I do an equal one full turn. At the same time, pay attention to the rear tire’s alignment to the motorcycle’s center-line. 4.- Recheck The Motorcycle Chain Slack.tighten the rear axle quickly, and again while applying weight to the motorcycle seat, I recheck the motorcycle chain slack. If within chain spec, I secure my work (outlined below in Securing Rear Axle section).Is The Motorcycle Chain Slack Too Little Or Too Tight?FYI: additional motorcycle chain too tight symptoms: Chain breaking prematurely, broken motor mounts ( Broke A Motorcycle Motor Mount Bolt ), and premature chain and motorcycle sprocket teeth wear.How To Loosen A Motorcycle Chain:To loosen the motorcycle chain, we must shorten the distance the chain travels from the front sprocket to the rear sprocket. Just another easy step in how to adjust your motorcycle, so take your time.1.- Loosen The Rear Motorcycle Axle.Loosen the motorcycle’s rear axle just enough to allow axle movement on the swing arm.2.- Loosen The Chain Tensioner’s Lock Nuts. loosen and unthread the lock nuts enough to access the chain tension adjustment nuts.3.- Shorten The Motorcycle Chain Travel distance.To increase the travel distance, I tighten the motorcycle chain tensioner nuts equally.  Equally, if I do one complete turn on the left chain tensioner nut, I do an equal one full turn. At the same time, pay attention to the rear tire’s alignment to the motorcycle’s center-line..4.- Recheck The Motorcycle Chain Slack.tighten the rear axle quickly, and again while applying weight to the motorcycle seat, I recheck the motorcycle chain slack.Completed The Motorcycle Chain Adjustment.Once I have the motorcycle chain adjusted and rechecked to my satisfaction, I secure the chain in place.tightened the rear axle at the end of each motorcycle chain tensioner adjustment. 1.- Tighten And Torque The Rear Axle.Tighten the rear axle to the manufacturer’s specs using your Motorcycle Owner’s Manual.2.- Set Motorcycle Chain Tensioner’s Lock Nuts.As mentioned above, I like to use thread-locker on my motorcycles and feel the motorcycle chain tensioner lock nuts are a perfect opportunity to use them.I apply a thread locker to the threads behind the motorcycle chain tensioner adjustment nuts.While holding the motorcycle chain tensioner adjustment nut with one wrench, I tighten the lock nuts against the adjustment nuts with another wrench.3.- Recheck Motorcycle Chain Adjustment/Slack.This is a quick check to ensure I didn’t move anything out of whack while securing my adjustments.I check the chain slack with the weight on the seat.I check the wheel alignment with the bike’s frame. The rear wheel should be lined up centerline with the motorcycle frame, and the motorcycle chain should easily move on and off the sprockets.4.- Easy Test Ride, After Adjusting The Motorcycle Chain.With the motorcycle off, I hold the clutch and roll the bike back and forth. Now that I have actual rider weight on the bike and move the chain on and off the sprockets, I listen for any problems(clicking, creaking, or chain slap).Once I’m satisfied with no adverse sounds, I gently ride while making stops to check the state of my motorcycle chain.  Once everything looks and sounds good, I ride and enjoy my work.Remember: Adjust Your Motorcycle Chain As Needed.Now the steps sound long and detailed, but adjusting your motorcycle chain is easy and contributes to long and safe rides and lower chain maintenance and replacement costs.After the initial new motorcycle chain stretch, adjustments might happen less often, and a quick visual check is all that is necessary before each ride.

what's Silent blocks  Silent blocks (hereinafter referred to as “s / b”) are a suspension part, which is two metal bushings, between which there is a rubber insert. The silent block connects the suspension parts to each other, dampens vibrations between the nodes. Silent blocks contribute to a comfortable ride due to the elasticity of the rubber, which serves as a damper between the suspension parts.  Silent blocks work to avoid deformation of suspension parts and bodywork. They are the first to take shocks and vibrations, after which they are damped by shock absorbers. Also silent blocks are divided into the following categories:  ● design (with one, two bushings or without metal elements);  ● design load (continuous elastic insert or with holes);  ● type of fastening (bushings or case with eyes);  ● mobility (medium mobility and “floating”);  ● material (rubber or polyurethane). Structurally, silent blocks differ in shape, depending on the design of the lever. Most often, two bushings are used on triangular levers of the MacPherson type front suspension - rear silent blocks with two bushings, front ones with an inner bolt, there is no outer clip. By the way, the rear s/b of the front suspension can be hydrofilled. This design allows you to better absorb the vibration energy, but as soon as the liquid begins to flow out, the efficiency of silent blocks decreases sharply.According to the design load, it is better to use continuous s / b, their resource is much higher. In terms of mobility, “floating” silent blocks are worth special attention. They are used in the rear multi-link suspension, they can be pressed into the steering knuckle or transverse rod. The “floating” hub has a second task - to allow the wheel to turn freely at a certain angle, while remaining motionless in the vertical and horizontal plane. The product is a cage, closed on both sides with anther, inside of which a hinge is installed. Due to the movement of the hinge, the rear suspension “steers” when necessary, the car on the road is more stable in sharp turns due to this .. The main disadvantage of the “floating” bushing is that that the rubber boot is too vulnerable to an aggressive environment, after which it passes dust and moisture, sharply reducing the life of the part.  Where are the silent blocks located?Rubber-metal bushings are used in the following suspension parts:  ● front and rear levers;  ● longitudinal and transverse traction of the rear suspension;  ● as stabilizer bushings;  ● in turning fists;  ● in shock absorbers;  ● as a fastening of the power unit and transmission;  ● on stretchers. The use of full-fledged silent blocks instead of rubber bushings significantly improved the technical characteristics of the chassis due to the fact that the rubber in the rigid sleeve works better for twisting, dampens vibrations more efficiently and does not wear out so quickly. Types and types of silent blocks There are two categories by which all silent blocks are classified:  ● By the material from which they are made;  ● By type (shape and design). The bushings for the rear beam and front control arms are made of rubber or polyurethane. By type they are distinguished:  ● Standard non-collapsible. Such parts have a metal cage with a rubber insert inside. There are also modifications with one metal insert. In this case, it will be placed inside the rubber base.  ● Perforated silent block or with cavities in the rubber part. Such silent blocks provide smooth twisting of the lever. The part must be pressed in evenly so that the load is distributed over the entire working part of the element.  ● Silent block with asymmetric lugs. Such parts do not have a through mounting hole. Instead, lugs are used. This design allows you to fix parts that are in offset planes relative to each other.  ● Floating design. Externally, floating silent blocks are similar to ball bearings. So that during operation the rubber part does not wear out, it is covered with a rubber boot. This modification provides a smooth movement of the part mounted on it. They can be used for levers, but more often they are installed in the steering knuckles of the hub.When they change Silent blocks are replaced only with obvious wear, in other cases it makes no sense to touch them. It is strongly recommended that you change the rubber-metal part from two sides, because on the move the suspension begins to manifest itself inadequately due to the difference in the operation of the levers. By the way, not every suspension starts to "sound" when the s / w is worn. For example: the car Mercedes-Benz W210 and BMW 7-series E38 to the last remain “silence”, even when the silent blocks are completely torn. This suggests that running gear should be diagnosed based on mileage and the first signs of inadequate suspension behavior.

THE MOST COMMON TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ISSUES IN HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GEAR SLIPPING AND GRINDING NOISES Gear slipping occurs when the transmission fails to stay engaged in the selected gear. This will result in a loss of power, weaker acceleration, and engine revving without increased speed. ‍If you hear grinding coming from your transmission, then this is a clear indicator of worn-out synchronizers.DELAYED ENGAGEMENT OR SHIFTING Noticeable delays between shifting gears and the transmission responding are common issues experienced by heavy-duty trucks with transmission and clutch issues. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS Transmission leaks are indicated by a puddle beneath your car and are brought on by damaged transmission lines, seals, or gaskets. This needs to be addressed promptly, as leaks can lead to poor lubrication and an overheating transmission, which can cause severe component damage. OVERHEATING Excessive heat in the transmission can cause the transmission fluid to break down and result in excessive wear. TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS If your truck is automatic, it will come with a torque converter. Issues with torque converters can result in transmission slipping, shuddering, or failure to transmit power efficiently. ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) MALFUNCTIONS Erratic shifting, improper gear selection, and the illumination of warning lights on your dashboard are all signs that your ECM is experiencing problems. CLOGGED TRANSMISSION FILTER Your truck’s transmission filter traps contaminants and debris present in the transmission fluid. If it becomes clogged, it restricts fluid flow, resulting in decreased performance and damage to the transmission. WORN TRANSMISSION BANDS Used to lock specific gears in place, these can become worn or loose over time. This can lead to difficulty maintaining certain gears or shifting properly. VIBRATIONS OR ODD NOISES If you experience these during gear shifts, then this could indicate an issue with your transmission mounts or internal components like bearings and gears. FLUID CONTAMINATION Mixing different types of fluids can lead to reduced performance and premature wear of transmission components. CLUTCH PROBLEMS CLUTCH SLIPPING This happens when your clutch fails to engage your flywheel, causing a loss of power transmission from the engine to the transmission. This is brought on by a worn-out clutch disc or pressure plate and results in decreased acceleration and difficulty maintaining speed, particularly when carrying heavy loads. CLUTCH STICKING Clutch sticking occurs when your clutch does not disengage fully when the driver presses the clutch pedal, causing difficulty shifting gears. Clutch sticking tends to stem from issues with the release bearing or a binding clutch linkage. CLUTCH PEDAL ISSUES Excessive play or a soft, spongy feel to your brake pedal is usually caused by a worn-out or misjudged clutch pedal assembly, which can lead to issues engaging or disengaging the clutch properly. WORN OUT CLUTCH COMPONENTS The clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearings are subject to significant wear over time due to frequent engagement and disengagement during gear changes. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Hydraulic fluid is used to transfer the clutch pedals' force to the clutch assembly. Leaks, air bubbles, or problems with the master cylinder or slave cylinder can result in inconsistent clutch engagement. CLUTCH CHATTER Juddering or vibrations when engaging the clutch can result from a contaminated clutch disc, improper clutch break-in, or misaligned clutch components. CLUTCH NOISE Grinding, rattling, or squealing noises when operating the clutch can indicate issues with the clutch assembly or related components. WORN FLYWHEEL Over time, this can become worn or damaged, affecting clutch engagement and performance. IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT Improper adjustments of the clutch linkage, cable, or hydraulic systems will require attention to ensure smooth operation. DRIVER HABITS Aggressive driver habits such as “riding the clutch” or excessive slipping during gear changes can accelerate wear and lead to premature failure. CAUSES OF TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH PROBLEMS POOR MAINTENANCE PRACTICES Ignoring regular fluid changes, inspections, and adjustments can lead to accumulating debris, wear particles, and contaminants in the transmission and clutch systems, causing premature failure. OVERLOADING Trucks are designed to carry specific weights. Overloading these vehicles can cause excessive stress on the transmission and clutch, accelerating wear and causing potential failure. DRIVER HABITS AND OPERATOR ERRORS Stop-and-go driving, excessive clutch slipping, harsh gear changes, and failure to engage the clutch fully can significantly impact the transmission and clutch lifespan. INADEQUATE COOLING AND OVERHEATING Challenging environments, including steep hills, extreme temperatures, and heavy loads, are all situations that your truck may find itself in. Lack of cooling or excessive workload can lead to transmission damage. FLUID CONTAMINATION Incorrect or contaminated fluid can impact transmission performance and cause component damage. MISALIGNMENT OR MECHANICAL ISSUES Misalignment between the engine and transmission, as well as other mechanical issues within the drivetrain, can place undue stress on the clutch and transmission components. CLUTCH ABUSE AND RIDING “Riding the clutch” keeps the clutch partially engaged while driving, leading to excessive wear on clutch components. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Harsh weather, road conditions, and exposure to corrosive substances can impact the transmission and clutch systems, leading to deterioration and premature failure. AGE AND MILEAGE Older trucks with high mileage are more prone to experiencing wear and tear-related issues. REPAIRING TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ISSUES FLUID REPLACEMENT Issues related to low/contaminated fluid or overheating begin with a fluid replacement. Drain and replace with the manufacturer-recommended fluid. ADJUSTMENTS AND LINKAGE CHECKS Verify the clutch linkage and adjust if necessary to ensure the clutch engages and disengages correctly. This can be helpful for a stuck or dragging clutch. CLUTCH SLIPPING FIX Slipping due to worn-out components, the clutch assembly needs to be replaced. This involves removing the transmission, replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing, and replacing the system. REPAIRING LEAKS Identify the leak and repair or replace the damaged seals, gaskets, or transmission lines. TRANSMISSION BAND ADJUSTMENT Worn or loose transmission bands may need adjustments or replacement. TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT Malfunctioning torque converters may need to be fully replaced. ECM DIAGNOSES AND RESETS For electronic transmission issues, perform a diagnostic test scan to retrieve error codes from the ECM. Troubleshoot and address the issues, and then rest the ECM. FLYWHEEL RESURFACING AND REPLACEMENT Flywheels can be resurfaced to restore their smooth surface or replaced if necessary. TRANSMISSION REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT Severe transmission issues may require a full transmission rebuild or replacement. This is a complex procedure that should be handled by professionals offering comprehensive transmission repairs. COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTIONS Once repairs are complete, carry out a thorough inspection and test drive your truck to ensure that the transmission and clutch are functioning correctly. FINAL THOUGHTS Being aware of common transmission and clutch issues in heavy-duty trucks empowers owners and operators to take proactive measures for timely repairs and maintenance. By addressing problems promptly and seeking professional assistance when needed, you can ensure safer, more reliable, and more efficient truck operations, extending the lifespan of these critical components.

When working on a car, you often come across special components that require special tools to remove and install. One of the most common parts you may face is pulleys and gears. A lot of them are pressed by the factory, and the only way to separate them is to use a special puller. There are quite a few pullers, some of which also double as installers, and we have selected the most common ones to show you how they work.TIE ROD TOOLRemoving an old tie rod can be a headache, especially when the car is old and hard. This is where the tie rod removal tool comes in. Kimchi forks tend to damage parts, so those parts are already out. These tools are one-piece cast or forged U-shaped tools that lock onto a steering arm or drag linkage, with a center stud screwed in to press the joint out. They work very well and are affordable.3-JAW PULLERThe most versatile puller, the three-jaw puller has three articulated arms with internal and external hooks. You can use them to disassemble gears, pulleys, hubs, all kinds of parts that are difficult to remove. They come in a variety of sizes and are inexpensive. There should be three sizes of 3-jaw pullers in every garage drawer. Just like the tie-rod tool, the center stud is threaded and does the hard work for you. The classic 3-jaw puller is suitable for gears, pulleys, and all other crimped parts that may need some help. Just be careful, as they tend to come loose.HARMONIC BALANCER TOOLMuch like the three-jaw puller, this particular removal tool has three hooks that lock a special position on the balancer. These are forged steels that are not as versatile as regular 3-jaws, but when you need it, you need it. 46Pc Harmonic Balancer And Puller Set OEM 46Pc Harmonic Balancer And Puller Set removing harmonic balancer or installing harmonic balancer/replace harmonic balancer 13Pc Harmonic Balancer And Puller Set 13Pc Harmonic Balancer And Puller Set supplier from China,wholesale harmonic balancer puller to extractor bearings 2-JAW PULLERSometimes you can't fit three jaws on a part, so you'll need a 2-jaw puller. These are less commonly used but are helpful when needed. The operation is the same as that of the 3-jaw.STEERING WHEEL PULLERPulling the steering wheel is a very painful thing to do, but with the right tools, it's not that bad. You may be asking, "When do I need to pull the steering wheel?" How about replacing a damaged turn signal cam or correcting the steering wheel position after replacing the steering wheel parts. Steering wheel pullers (sometimes referred to as bolt pullers) typically have four slotted holes to match the two and three hole spacing common in steering wheels. The end of the center stud has a spindle that rotates freely to keep it aligned. 10 Ton Hydraulic Wheel HUB Press Puller For 4 & 5 Bolt Hubs 10 Ton Hydraulic Wheel HUB Press Puller For 4 & 5 Bolt Hubs Harmonic balancer puller and Installer Tool Harmonic balancer puller and Installer Tool tie rod end replacement,steering wheel repair,made in China,Tool supplier in China

There is a saying that "the right tool is used to get the right job done", and this phrase is most applicable in the field of automotive machinery. Using the wrong tools will not only make the job more difficult, but it will also create unsafe conditions and damage your parts. Sometimes, there are multiple tools available for a task, making it difficult to determine which is the better option. The ball joints on the suspension are, of course, one of them.PICKLE FOLKThe most well-known tool for separating ball joints is a pickle fork. The pickle fork is essentially a long, two-pronged wedge and is also known as a partial destroyer. Don't use a pickle fork on reusable parts. If you disassemble the joint in order to replace or repair something else, the pickle fork will only cost you more money. The reason is that you can't save the dust boots, and the forks will always tear them. If you're replacing a joint, then it really doesn't matter. To use a pickle fork, simply slide it as tightly as possible between the spindle and the control arm and tap the free end with a hammer. This drives the wedge between the two points and forces the joint out of the taper.SIMPLE CLAW-TYPE PRESSThis type of ball joint removal tool is a press. It is a one-piece press with cast or forged double jaw jaws with a threaded stud in the middle. More commonly used for tie rod joints, these can be used for ball joints. If the joints are not stuck too badly, they will work. Cheaper versions tend not to fit between the spindle and ball joint, and they may spread out if too much pressure is required. Another potential flaw is damage to the threads of the castle nut on the joint stud. To avoid this, turn the castle nut upside down (the forked side is facing the joint) and apply the press. This allows the head of the stud to be centered. This can also be used in conjunction with the hammer method to apply a little pressure to the butt studs. Tighten the ball joint, press against the ball joint stud to apply pressure, and gently tap it with a hammer a few times. Ball joints should pop out freely.BALL JOINT SEPARATORSometimes there is not enough space to use a one-piece ball joint press. This is where scissor ball joint separators come in handy. This design still puts pressure on the ball joint stud, but it clamps the spindle into an offset manor to fit more places. It's a handy tool as modern vehicles pack more components into smaller spaces. Simply slide your upper finger over the ball joint stud, then slide your lower two fingers onto the spindle above the boot, then turn the screw to tighten and loosen the joint.BALL JOINT PRESSThe professional tool is a ball joint press. This is a more sophisticated version of the claw press. The tool uses a flip cover and adapter to ensure clean and safe removal of the ball joint from the control arm. The fitting will also remain reusable. The problem with these types of ball joint tools is that they are expensive; They usually spend a few hundred or more to get all the adapters. Keep in mind that if you need this tool, you need to think about it ahead of time before starting your project.

Injector Puller At DNT Tools,we sell a range of injector removal tools for removing seized and stubborn injectors. Injectors stuck in engines has been an ongoing problem in the automotive sector since the common rail diesel was created. The reason injectors seize is because of galvanic corrosion which occurs when aluminium (the cylinder head of the vehicle) comes into contact with steel (the injector) in a wet environment, this form of corrosion makes the injectors almost impossible to remove meaning more high capacity equipment is needed to remove the injectors such as pneumatic pullers.Types is recommend following: New!!!

Fuel injectors help to remove injectors that are needed for testing and cleaning as well as replacements. You will need to select the puller attachment then slide it onto the injector using a screw or slide hammer, this will safely remove the injector. Once the injector has been pulled you can remove the old seal with a screwdriver. In order to fit the new seal you will need to use the assembly cone on the tip of the injector, then slide the new seal onto the cone, you can then use the sleeve to slide the seal onto the injector.How to use a diesel injector puller?First open the bonnet, then find the valve cover on the engine, remove the bolts using a wrench then pull the valve cover from the engine. Next find the injector fuel lines that supply the injector, screw into the engine near the injector, the injectors will all have their own supply line. You can then remove the nut that keeps the supply line to the injector in place, then pull the fuel supply line out of the engine with your hands. You will then need to find the injector hold down which will be held in place with two bolts, you can remove these bolts and pull the injector away from the engine. Hold the top end of the injector and pull it out, you can then replace the injector should you need too.
