Modular Bearing Press Kit

Abbey tools finest quality bearing press kit, available with handles or in team issue version that makes use of the Quick Nut from the Abbey Big Press.

Where most press heads are glorified nuts, Abbey Bike Tools has crafted a solid thrust bearing with balls and races, which ensures the pressing action is buttery smooth and isolated from the torque. It can be turned by hand, using the brand's signature finger spline pattern, or if you need a bit more leverage, the brand's engineers have added a pair of sturdy, machined handles, adding up to 5” in length.

The Press Kit comes with a selection of nine drifts as standard, all of which are machined to fit like a glove, along with a centring cone that can be used on the empty side of your hub, frame or linkage to ensure the press is concentric with the bore. All of these are sized to the 1/2” acme thread, so that the bearing or headset will go in straight each time.

At the other end of the press, a sturdy quick nut slides onto the thread and up to the drift, with no need for excessive turning, then clicks securely into place. It can be easily operated with one hand and offers fast, smooth action, with no pinch risk, making the whole job easier and quicker.

Abbey recommends installing bearings one at a time, using the centring cone, to ensure they settle in straight with minimal fuss and no danger of damage to them, the frame or your tools.
