Today we're going to be taking a look at the Performance Tools 7-Piece Bearing Race and Seal Driver Kit. Part number is PTW83020. Now here you'll see what our kit's going to look like. We're going to have a nice handle here, aluminum so it's going to be lightweight, easy to handle with the grooves in there. It won't get too slick once our hands are full of grease. It gives us a nice area to drive that seal or that race down into place.
Also works good for bearings that already have the race on the outside. The way it's going to work is pretty simple. Just going to pick the size that matches. Now if we're driving in a race, we want our beveled portion to be down, so that fits into that race. Then we simply just take our bolt, thread that on the end to hold it in place. Now if, on the other hand, maybe we're doing a seal, or we're doing a contained bearing, we want to use this flat side.
It's going to give us a nice, even surface, it's going to protect our seal from any kind of damage or our bearing from any kind of damage, or our bearing from any kind of damage. Put that right on, and we can drive that in as well. Now we've got six very common sizes and each of our adapters here are going to be two piece. We've got the flat side, and we've also got the narrower side for our race. Now starting at the smallest, this is going to be a 1.565 inch diameter piece. We've got a 1.75 inch diameter, a 1.965 diameter, a 2.325 diameter, a 2.47 diameter and a 2.555 inch diameter, so this is going to cover most of our common sizes, and it's going to give us a great solution for getting rid of that old wooden block, or the things like that we use to use and mess up seals or races here and there.
Gives us a really good solution to get those driven in there without any damage or any harm to them. That's going to complete our look at Performance Tools 7-Piece Bearing Race and Seal Driver Kit, part number PTW83020.

Quickly and easily install wheel bearing races and seals without destruction to race or axle housing. This set includes six discs that fit common bearing sizes.For many years I used various sockets and pipes to drive bearing races and seals. When I ordered my replacement bearing kits I also ordered this tool set. High quality, like everything I have ordered from etrailer, these tools are super. I have been in the auto industry for over 50 years and I hate that I waited so long to put them in one of my tool boxes. Races go in easily, seals drive in square and right without fooling around with alignment.
These installation tools worked like a charm when I overhauled my kayak trailer hubs with new bearings, races and seals.
Being an "Old School" retired auto repair tech I had always been able to install seals and bearing seats using whatever seemed to work at the time. I have found that in recent years it seems to be harder to do (my age showing I guess). I bought this set after screwing up a seal and having to reorder and redo it. It is a breeze to use and I don't really know how I ever did it before. I know it sure took me longer going Old School!
Aluma A8812 ATV trailer: inner, outer bearings with seals for 3500# dexter axle:
Delivered as promised, ordered was complete as ordered. Great service, accurate description of product.
Good communication with confirmation of order contents ordered.
I replaced the wheel bearings on an Airstream Travel Trailer. I didn't realize that installing the new bearing races would require some careful force. Rather than risk damaging the races by tapping them in with a punch I purchased the 7-Piece Installation Set for Bearings, Races, and Seals. What a great tool. I selected the correct size, placed the bearing race in the hub and two firm taps later the race was installed. I then flipped the installer around and used it to install the grease seal. This tool eliminates trying to find the correct size of pipe or trying to tap the races and seals in with a punch and potentially damaging them. The Installation Set is a time saver and will help ensure a good installation.
No complaint with the product - it worked well on my smaller bearing races. However it did not fit my larger bearing races. The etrailer.com web site recommended this tool when I bought my bearings so it is disappointing that they didn't recommend the larger kit that would have worked with all of the bearings I purchased.
The install kit worked great for seating the races and the seals
Worked great, and zip tie keeps them all together.
It’s a straightforward tool, but necessary for a trailer owner, if you like doing your own work. Way easier to use than a couple of big sockets or a punch!

Perfect! For a while I struggled with “making do” with a punch or a big socket. Using these makes replacing bearings way easier and faster. I wish I’d bought this years ago.
Love this product!! I was packing my bearings for the first time and wanted to have the right tools. This tool was perfect for re-installing the grease seals. I installed 4 of them with this tool and each one was perfect. I think this tool will also work perfect when I change the races (however I did not do that at this time). You guys are great!!
Looks like great quality but have not used it yet
I am so glad I purchased this installation tool. I don't change bearings often but I knew replacing the races would be challenging and this tool made it so easy. I highly recommend it. Works well for replacing the seal too.
This seal and race tool was excellent for bearing race and seal install. Etrailer is a excellent company. Will buy from them again. Highly recommended.
It will be easier with the right tool
Works great for the outer bearing. The package should include a set for in larger inner bearing.
Perfect replacement for my trailer. etrailer is only place I buy trailer related parts from. Always excellent service. Fastest shipping in the industry.
The tool will not install all of the races and seals that etrailer sells. I ended up renting the correct tool for a parts store. Much less expensive option for a rarely used item.

This kit includes discs to fit more common bearing sizes and may not include every size out there. The sizes include 1.565, 1.75, 1.965, 2.325, 2.47, and 2.555 diameter drivers.
Brake drums were exactly what I ordered. etrailer was amazing, I ordered on a Sunday afternoon around 5:00 PM and within about 30 minutes I received a call form them with a couple of questions about my order and by around 8:00 PM I had received an email that my order was shipped. All my parts showed up by Wednesday in perfect condition. I installed them all on Friday afternoon, everything was a perfect fit. Now my 20 year old trailer is like new and ready for the trip Im about to take it on across country.

I could not be more pleased with the products I purchased from etrailer.com. Everything arrived when expected, all parts were correct and the install was super simple. etrailer is the best place to buy supplies for your trailer bar none.
Didn't have the size I wanted to set the seal. Back to a piece of wood
Good tool did not go up to the size I needed, but made it work
This is an excellent product that will make your replacement of bearing races and seals so much easier that you will wish that you had found it a sooner. Thanks to the great folks at etrailer for all of the great products that they make available and for good advice that they give when you call or email with a question.

This is a excellent product and I will be using it soon as I have bearing kits on order from etrailer. Thanks again for good tools at fair prices.
It would be nice if you provided all the sizes. I needed some of the bigger ones for the trailer bearing seal and bearing (8,000 pound axles). I had to buy the rest as individual ones on[line]. I called about more pieces but you said you did not have any

I am sorry that this tool did not service the size you needed. Here are the sizes it will work with: 1.565, 1.75, 1.965, 2.325, 2.47, and 2.555 inch.
excellent tool to have if you want to make the job of pressing in races and seals easy and complete. When the race seats on the shoulder the sound of this tool when it's hit with the hammer changes and that gives me confidence that I've done the job right. As cheap as it is I highly recommend this to anyone even if they do one installation. I did four and was very happy that I spent the money to get this tool

No problems with this tool!! I used the tool four more times, for a total of eight times since I bought it one year ago. As an engineer who designed machinery and tools I believe this tool will last decades if it is not abused. I wish I had bought this tool 30 years ago.
Ordered DL21792 bearing and seal kit for BT8 spindles on my ecolight kayak trailer. Very fast delivery,2 days from ordering to delivery and price was better than at our local parts house. In past I have ordered similar kits for my bass boat trailer and have never had a issue with order delivery or product. I did order the installation tool for the bearings, races and seals just to save some grief using punches and wooden blocks for removal and installation of these items. I will order from etrailer again should I need any other trailer parts for my bass boat trailer, ecolight or other farm trailers I own.
I don't know if the product is good or not. I purchased the product to facilitate installation of wheel bearings on an RV. The largest sized piece was way too small for what I needed, so I'm unable to use.
