HENDRICKSON FABRICATED BAR PIN ADAPTER SET

Servicing bar pin end bushings used on Hendrickson equalizing beam tandem truck suspensions requires the use of special tooling. OTC's No. 1757 adapter set is used with the beam removed from the truck, and in conjunction with OTC No. 51100 press plate and a 100-ton hydraulic shop press. The 1757 set, which replaces the No. 1747 set, includes an adapter for installing bushings in older forged beams as well as the fabricated beams introduced in 1999. To remove bushings, use OTC's previously introduced No. 302030 removing adapter and No. 206457 press adapter, both of which may be ordered separately. Reinstall bushings following procedures recommended by the suspension manufacturer.
