The Bearing Press & Extraction Tool (BPET) is designed for the Mechanic for use on ‘LINKAGE BEARINGS’, however it still works on many pivot and hub bearings.
This tool is designed for the competent mechanic who has reasonable knowledge and experience of working on bikes. This tool is designed to extract and insert linkage bearings, however the tool can also be used to press and extract bearings on some hubs and freehub bodies
- Note:
- - All orders shipped from North Vancouver BC
- - Bearing Press & Extraction tools an kits are sold separately
Instructions for use
Firstly, ensure you have the correct RRP Bearing Kit to match the bearings you intend to insert / extract (see list below). You can identify which kit you need either by reading the bearing number written on the rubber seal, or you can measure the inner bore race and outer race of the bearing (as shown below) and match it to our list below
(NB: the handle arms have been reduced in length and thickness to decrease the torque available reducing the risk of damage from misalignment / incorrect installation)
Extracting Bearings (RED adaptors) - SOLD SEPARATELY
Place the RED adaptors from your RRP BEARING KIT as shown below, take time to ensure that all the parts fit flush and are aligned to prevent any damage to parts or frame. In particular check that the female adaptor cup is flush on the frame to prevent frame damage.
Wind on the main handle until the parts all come together, make a final check that everything is aligned properly. Continue to wind on the main handle which will allow the male adaptor to pull on the inner race of the bearing and extract it into the female adaptor cup (NB: The male adaptor passes through the female adaptor to ensure a uniform and true extraction*), it will become harder to turn once the bearing starts to extract. After a couple of turns stop and check that the bearing is extracting properly before continuing
Inserting Bearings (BLUE adaptors) - SOLD SEPARATELY
Place the BLUE adaptors from your RRP BEARING KIT as shown below, take time to ensure that all the parts fit flush and are aligned to prevent any damage to parts or frame.
Wind on the main handle until all the parts come together, the male adaptor should be pressing on the outer race of the bearing you are inserting. Make a final check that everything is all aligned. Continue to wind on the main handle, the male adaptor will press onto the outer race of the bearing and insert it (NB: The male adaptor passes through the female adaptor to ensure a uniform and true insertion*), it will become harder to turn once the bearing starts to insert. After a couple of turns stop and check that the bearing is inserting properly before continuing

FAQs
How do I order a Fox 40 adapter bracket?
This will be available by January 2021.
Will Proguard bolton work with Fox Live valve?
No they use the same holes.
Will Proguard bolt on work with 2021 fox 36?
Yes both the Mini and the Standard fit. RRP engineers found that due to the extended lugs on the fork it could use a bit more stability. So they have developed a 2021 Fox 36 Stability Bracket which will become available in January 2021.

DESIGN FEATURES IN MORE DETAIL
RUBBER PADS
The sides of the mudguard are flared out to touch and hold onto the fork to dampen resonance and create more stability, thick rubber pads have been included for the sides of the mudguard to protect the fork
BOLTS
We had to design and manufacture our own custom M3 bolt as we couldn’t find one good enough to offer the wide clamping force and durability we needed. The following bolts come supplied in the packaging:
- M3 x 2 (FOX / MARZOCCHI)
- M4 x 3 (OHLINS)
- M6 x 1 (SR SUNTOUR)
TILT BRACKETS
We have included two TILT BRACKETS that just clip onto the front of the bracket allowing you to raise or lower the front for a better angle if needed, if any finer tuning is needed just zip the end you want to lower against the wheel and leave overnight
ALLEN KEYS
2 Allen keys have been provided in the packaging at just the right length to help you fit the mudguard
REAR FLICK
The raised rear flick was designed to simply offer a little bit more protection without adding extra length, it prevents more mud and spray from flying up the side of the frame especially when the wheel is turned
STICKER INDENT
The centre indent is a nice easy reference to apply our coloured stickers to, this indent also prevents the sticker from sitting proud on the surface of the guard which would leave it vulnerable to durability issues. The adhesive used is very special and super strong and can be jet washed
SEAL SHIELD
Our widely acclaimed Seal Shield offers greater protection for your fork seals from high velocity mud and spray lengthening service intervals
MATERIAL
We make our mudguard material thicker than the competition out there which together with our unique polypropylene mix allows massive impact protection, flexibility, and importantly cold weather durability and strength.
NB: If you don’t like the gloss highlights then spray the mudguard with GT85 and rub, this will remove the high gloss finish
BOLT PACKS
Additional full bolt packs can be purchased should you need them
SLEEVE PACK – SR SUNTOUR
Some SR Suntour forks have a straight through UNTHREADED hole in the centre of the fork brace, you can purchase a sleeve pack that allows you to fit the ProGuard BOLT ON to the fork
