Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What vehicles is this hydraulic shock absorber removal tool compatible with?
A: This tool kit is designed to be universally compatible and works with most popular vehicle brands including VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Ford, BMW, Mini, Citroën, Renault, and Peugeot. The hydraulic tool covers a spread range of 5–13mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of suspension setups.
Q: What does the parallel pressure work surface do?
A: The parallel pressure work surface ensures that force is applied evenly across the contact points during strut or bearing seat removal. This design prevents the tool from accidentally slipping or ejecting, making the job safer and more controlled compared to traditional hammering methods.
Q: Is any special equipment needed to use this tool?
A: Style 1 (Hydraulic Removal Tool) requires a standard 17mm external hexagon driver, which is commonly available in most tool sets. No pneumatic or power equipment is needed — this is a fully manual tool kit. The CR-V steel sleeve separators (Style 2) are used by hand with standard mechanical leverage.
Q: What is CR-V steel and why does it matter for this tool?
A: CR-V stands for Chrome Vanadium Steel — an alloy known for its excellent hardness, toughness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Using CR-V steel in the sleeve separators ensures they hold up under the high-stress forces required during suspension component removal without cracking or deforming.
