The VEVOR ZX-B005 is a 23-piece tool kit for removing and installing front wheel drive hub bearings. It is meant for front-wheel-drive cars and light trucks, and uses a screw-driven press to move the bearing, instead of hammering it.

What a bearing press kit does

A hub bearing sits tightly in its housing, so removing or fitting it takes steady force. The kit works as a press: a threaded screw pulls or pushes the bearing through a set of bushings and sleeves that match its size. VEVOR says this reduces the need for hammering and for front-end realignment, and helps avoid damage to nearby parts. The correct procedure for each vehicle is in its service manual.

What is in the box

  • 13 bushings in common sizes
  • 4 sleeves
  • 2 sleeve plates
  • 1 sliding screw, 3/4"-10UNC, 7.7 inches (195 mm) long
  • 1 nut, 2.9 inches (74.3 mm)
  • 2 M20 spacers
  • A storage case

VEVOR says the 13 bushings cover common bearing sizes in the market for front-wheel-drive vehicles and light trucks. Check the sizes against the bearing for your own vehicle, as no kit covers everything.

Materials and finish

The parts are made from 45# steel, and VEVOR says it is high-hardness. The sliding screw is heat treated for hardness and to resist breaking, while the screw and nut are 8.8 grade with precision threads. The bushings and sleeve plates are designed for high working loads without deforming or fracturing, according to VEVOR. They also have an electrophoretic rust-prevention coating, which VEVOR says resists wear and chemical oil.

Storage

A tough, waterproof plastic case organizes the bushings, sleeves and plates by size, which makes it easier to find the right piece mid-job. The kit weighs 23.6 lb (10.7 kg) and measures 17.9 x 13.5 x 3.7 inches (455 x 342 x 94 mm).

Who it suits

It suits DIY mechanics and small garages that replace hub bearings on front-wheel-drive vehicles and want to do it with the bearing still on the car or knuckle.

What to check before you buy

  • Bearing size: measure your bearing's outer diameter and compare with the bushing sizes.
  • Vehicle type: the kit is for front-wheel-drive cars and light trucks.
  • Access: check whether you can reach the bearing with a press assembled, as the manual describes.
  • Extra tools: you will also need hand tools to take off the wheel, brake and hub parts.
  • Support: a vehicle must be on rated stands, never on a jack alone.
  • Instructions: follow the vehicle's service manual for torque values.
