TOOLING

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Typical rusted tube from customer car.

Sand blasted tube to remove 100% rust & corrosion.

Precise tooling for bearing removal and install

Inside of dirty tube prior to processing.

Honed/cleaned tube. Inspected for cracks or bell to tube alignment.

Hi-Rel methods of machinery & fixturing for machine pressed carrier/bearing insertion.

Cleanliness

This is the most important part of any rebuild. Ask any engine or transmission builder, a clean facility will always reflect a quality product. The same goes with tools, tooling and all machinery. All components such as shafts, carriers, bushings and bearings are thoroughly inspected and cleaned prior to assembly.

Use of Tooling

All tooling is custom made with tolerances to match tube bore as well as the intricate contours of the bearing carriers. Specialty made alignment jigs and fixtures along with a large machine press assures accurate positioning and concentricity of the carriers with their bearings.

Inspection Best Practices

Inspection dial gauge is used to measure proper shaft runout. Go & no-go gauges to assure spline quality at the clutch end as well as the coupler area. All inspection criteria and mindset is used as if for a racing application.
